As I continue to fill out my collection I was lucky enough to add Bowen Best Grade No. 015 today.
Chambered in .50 Special built on a Super Blackhawk and left in-the-white it is described best by it's maker...
"Not much to be said except that this is the 15th ‘best-grade’ gun we’ve built and, perhaps, our favorite. Built on a chromoly .357 large-frame Blackhawk, the top strap was welded and re-machined in the S&W M&P style which, in our view, is the handsomest top-strap treatment there is for single-action revolvers.
Usual other refinements include scalloped recoil shield and loading gate, narrow Super Blackhawk hammer, dovetail front sight in an integral base and the regulated/ blended ejector housing screw.
The two-piece Power Custom grip frame accommodates a set of lovely one-piece ivory grips from Paul Persinger. The finish is a fine brushed surface with the screws and pins
nitre blued."
The original owner sent it to Dennis Kies for him to do his engraving magic on.
I'm beyond words to be the keeper of this one for a while.
Thank goodness this one has been shot!
