Andy Griffith Show Squad Car & Rare Civil War Items in Western Auction
Fredericksburg, TX (PRWEB) June 2, 2007 -- A black-and-white 1963 Ford Galaxy squad car used on The Andy Griffith Show and important Confederate Civil War artifacts including a rare Dance Brothers dragoon revolver and a Terry's Texas Rangers badge go to auction on June 9th at the Trails of the West Show & Auction in the Texas Hill Country near Fredericksburg.
The historical Dance revolver, carried by E.H. McKnight during the Civil War, is the highlight of the firearms offered at the auction. He was a member of the famous Company K, 8th Texas Cavalry, called Terry's Texas Rangers. The Texas-made revolver, authenticated by experts, is part of a collection of items owned by McKnight including a carbine, saber, muster roll, trunk with coins, currency, photos, bullet molds and a rare Terry's Texas Ranger reunion badge. The badge according to collectors may be worth more than the revolver as it is the only one known to exist.

Myres for '69 World Champion Steer Wrestler Roy Duval, a photo of the famous saddlemaker holding a Colt double-action, and a double set of Colt engraved pistols and holster with matching silver buckles once owned by famous Mexican movie star Pedro Infante, who was often compared to Tom Mix.
