I'll Be Hornswoggled!!

I'll be dog-gone!! I did not know that there was a "Big Jim" doll made from the Zeb Macahan character (James Arness also known from Gunsmoke) - the sturdy old trapper with a limp - in the 70s TV series How The West Was Won.

By the way, the series was called Familjen Macahan in Sweden and was extremely popular and then again we didn't have much to choose from in those years.
