I have what I THINK is a Joe Bowman (Houston, TX) fastdraw conversion of a Ruger Flat Top .357-34,000 sn range. I say THINK because there are no stamps on the gun anywhere to substantiate this, other than the actual features of the gun.
Features as listed:
Micro sights removed and a piece has been welded/mortised into the area where sights were, then the frame has been re-contoured to look like a Colt SAA.
Rebarreled/recylindered to .44 Special as this was a standard for Joe.
Lowered profile (just hits the bottom of the firing pin) wide spur long profile hammer.
No front sight.
Nickel finish.
UNBELIEVABLY smooth action job.
I knew Joe personally and handled his guns over the years and I would say this may be one of his early pieces. Bought this from a local dealer who got it out of a private collection a few years back. Coincidentally, this is the same dealer/old friend who introduced me to Joe Bowman in 1963.
