As I continue to fine tune the guns in the safe I have decided to go back to focusing on old model revolvers so that means this little package needs a new home. The gun started life as one of the original large framed Vaqueros in 45 Colt. It was sent to Hamilton Bowen for his lightweight package which includes making the barrel 4", installing a new drift adjustable front sight, scalloping the recoil shield and loading gate, making a new shorter headed base pin, fitting a bisley spurred hammer, applying a black powder chamfer to the front edge of the cylinder, a full action job and reblue of the entire gun. Apparently the gun came as a dual cylinder 45 Colt/45 ACP gun because it includes an ACP cylinder and Bowens letter does not mention having to fit the auxiliary cylinder. I am not the original owner so I do not have the original work order but I do have the letter from Hamilton's shop stating that they in fact did do the work on this particular gun. A previous owner also had aa custom grip maker fit a set of sheep horn grips to the grip frame. While they did an excellent job of fitting the grips, they did not mark the inside of the grip with the makers name.
The shipped price on the gun along with the 45 ACP cylinder and a copy of the letter from Hamilton's shop verifying the work done is $2125 and a couple of payments is fine with me as long as at least 50% of the price is paid within the first week.
As usual, the first "I will take it" followed by a confirming PM locks it down.
Thank you for looking, Robb
I will leave it here for a few days but a link to this ad will be posted on a few other sites as well so the time stamp of the first IWTI decided who gets it.
