"Have Gun, Will Travel" What I never knew until today.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

I was 9 years old when this show first aired. It's presently on MeTv Saturdays.

I only just clocked that the horse engraved on his holster shown during opening credits was a depiction of the Knight chess piece. (I saw Horse > Western.) In researching I learned about the 12 Paladin knights of King Charlemagne's Court in the 8th century, which inspired the character. I just thought it was an interesting name. And theme song

It was a very popular show in its day. I think that was in large part due to Richard Boone. I do wonder how many understood the idea behind this show. Went right over my noggin.
