FINALLY got the "country mouse" home.....

This revolver is not marked with the best grade number but I have correspondence with Mr. Bowen that this is in fact #2, before he started marking the receiver and there is no No. 2 marked as such.

Bowen Best Grade No. 2 in .50 Special.

Details again..

Now, for me owning this revolver is super special. But it got even better last night. I was looking at my Handloader with the .50 Special load data in it and thought to myself "could it be?".

And it is!!!

Then and now!

They are back together again. No.9 and No. 2 the city mouse and the country mouse...

Seller said he wanted me to have it so I could have a "carry gun".

He even sent along a Mernickle ray skin holster he carried it in.

Gotta love it!

It's ovate and has a front sight base on it. The ovate barrels he does now have an integral front sight base which I personally don't like as much...
