"Trigger: The Iconic Companion of Roy Rogers, the Singing Cowboy" Step into the world of Roy Rogers, the legendary American singing cowboy actor, as we explore the captivating story behind his trusted companion - Trigger. This remarkable horse was more than just a sidekick; he became an inseparable part of Hollywood history. Leonard Slye, better known by his stage name Roy Rogers, found fame and fortune in the entertainment industry during the 20th century. Photographs immortalize him alongside his beloved horse Trigger, showcasing their unbreakable bond that captivated audiences worldwide. As we delve deeper into this tale, we encounter a variety of pistols that were synonymous with cowboys like Roy Rogers. From Colt's Deringer pistol to Peacemakers, these firearms represented both danger and protection on the wild frontier. But it wasn't just about guns and horses for Roy Rogers; love played a significant role too. Dale Evans shared not only her heart but also her screen time with both Roy and Trigger. Together they formed an iconic trio that left an indelible mark on Western cinema. Beyond Hollywood glamour lies historical significance - such as Needhams Patent Rifle and White Star Line's antique brass flare pistol. These artifacts transport us to different eras where weapons held immense power and were integral to survival or signaling distress. Intriguingly enough, our journey takes us to Libya during World War II when Italian soldiers triggered underground devices in a desperate attempt at victory. It serves as a reminder that they can have far-reaching consequences beyond mere entertainment value. Yet amidst all these tales of action-packed adventures is a simple moment captured in time - a driver climbing into his cab. It reminds us that even everyday actions can hold significance when viewed through certain lenses or contexts. To conclude our exploration of triggers past and present, let's acknowledge two exceptional creations by Mimard & Blachon: Simplex gun and Robust gun.
