Don't like it when someone is calling me a liar,these items were given to me by George "Bud" Davis, the son in law of Chuck Roberson. I have a letter from Bud, and these items are AUTHENTIC, and I don't really care what anyone thinks. Items are real and I know everyone has there opinion, and the letter was authenticated by Luster Bales.

First of all WCC had NOTHING to do with costuming for True Grit and Rooster Cogburn, all costumes came from UCAA which Luster owned. And I would like to know how you talk to Luster, and what is your relationship. These items came from Roberson through his son in law and any attempt to say they are not genuine is bullshit. I too have had Heritage out of Dallas inspect each. If you don't want to believe, I don't give a shit, because I know how the items worked their way down to me. Oh by the way, I have sent a telegram to Bayless to confirm.

not true, there were 2 of 2 that ONLY he wore, this Is one of them.

These items are ORIGINAL they were passed down from Patrick and Michael through family. I know for a fact that Roberson got the hat and patch from Bayless at UACC, and Chuck gave it to his son-in-law Bud Davis who is one of my best friends. There are reproductions is a slew of museums, this is NO reproduction. The movie props were numbered and I have verified the number from UACC (Robert), so get your facts straight.

His stunt double was his father in law Chuck Roberson. Bud Davis was married to Chuck's daughter Charlene, and I am Bud's friend who got the items. Chuck and Duke had the same hat size, 7 3/8, and there were only two hats and eye patches. Duke wore this hat primarily, but also did Roberson

I have posted these items on ebay, and have had them for some time. I am now 65 and wish to pass along. This was 1 of 2 props from the movies. Please ask any questions.
