love that gun, i’d love to clone that and his damascus barreled 32 magnum bisley. Often have wondered how much dinero was needed to
do the job (or if I valued having such a gun enough).

I know it's not as slick but I love my Clements built 45 bisley.  |

Here's about as close as I'll ever be able to get...Bowen Best Grade No. 9. It's a.50 Special with an ovate barrel and engraving by Dennis Kies.  |

According to the article about it, it cost more than a new car?! Not sure what make and model? when i first read that article, a quick google search put the average price of a car in 1988 (this guy was still in the oven) at ~$10,000 american pesos, so call it double that today. |

Awesome gun. I was 8 years old in 1992 when the article published.

Beautiful gun but too rich for my old blood. Still several features of the #13 have inspired different things on a few of my guns.

Interesting tidbit on the #13 and its round barreled prototype. In all the pictures I've seen it looked like the topstrap had been welded up but the general profile of the sight ears had been kept. When examining them in person there is a nice touch of decorative file work on the leading edge of the sight boss.

I’d call that subtle beauty. Nothing wrong with the Kies engraved gun either. I think I may have even gone as far as placing a bid or two on it. My Bowen 50 special is a plain Jane version of Bushogs #9. I really like the sculpted sights Bowen used back in the 90's |
