BONANZA, 1959-1973
A gun used by actor Michael Landon as "Joe Cartwright" on the
long-running classic western family drama. The series told the story of "The Cartwrights", owners of the Virginia City ranch The Ponderosa. "Little Joe's" character was the perfect balance to father "Ben", played by Lorne Green and mild-mannered brother "Hoss" played by Dan Blocker. The Colt single action .38 special revolver was used by the late star throughout the series. According to the Colt's P.T.F.A. Manufacturing Company, the serial number 4131SA marked below the barrel of the revolver, indicates that the piece was made in 1956. Accompanied by three black and white stills of Michael Landon from the series and a letter from Mrs. Lynn Landon which states in part, "...was used by Michael Landon throughout his appearance in "Bonanza", both on the series and for personal appearances as well. This was the only gun used by Michael's character "Little Joe" during the filming of "Bonanza."
