  • Hello, my name is David Tinson but I've used the name 'Hogleg' used by the Duke in several of his movies, I think indicating a gun! It's used in one of my favourites—BIG JAKE. I love John Wayne's movies and the man himself was a class act. Some of my favourites are THE SEARCHERS - THE WAR WAGON - THE TRAIN ROBBERS (awesome cast) —and the movie with one of his greatest opening scenes ever - CAHILL: US MARSHAL — I'm 53 yrs old from the UK near Oxfordshire and I'm glad to be here...


    Thank you

    Thanks


    He acted very well in the Searchers and I'm sure we all know he should have got an Oscar for his superb performance...


    Great supporting cast too.


    RED RIVER a favourite too.


    Thanks

  • Welcome Hogleg!! It is so awesome to know there are still Duke fans in the UK! And the Searchers is probably my favorite film of all time. I could go on for hours about that movie, but I for now, big welcome from the deep south!!

    Thank you so much for the warm welcome Sadiebelle. I grew up watching his movies so they have always been special for me. And my 25 year old nephew Matty is a fan after watching RIO LOBO with me— we both love that one too (great scenes with Jack Elam).


    As for the 'Searchers' well, it's a masterpiece...


    When they meet with the chief and see Debbie as an Indian woman... just a killer moment...


    Best regards,


    Hogleg

  • Thank You for letting me join. I really was searching for an answer to question and this site came up. I had recently purchased a replica western rig and now every western film I watch Im just looking at gunbelts the whole time! Anyways.. in what film did the Duke first start wearing his signature 2 tone gun belt...? And was it made by Andy Andersen?

  • Hello and welcome to the board, Hanomag. I'm sure someone here can answer your question for you. I, myself, don't know the answer. Thanks for joining in.

  • I believe Hondo (1953) is credited with the first appearance of the rough-out gun belt. As for the maker, I don't know if anyone actually knows. John Bianchi designed the holster for Duke and possibly the belt. I've read that Anderson didn't make a rig for Duke until 1969. Anderson didn't move to LA until 1958, so I'm pretty sure that with him living in Arkansas at the time Hondo was filmed, he wouldn't have made that rig. One other name that has been fielded, about the maker of the first gun belt, is Bob Brown of Hollywood. Good luck with your research!
