Having been a machinist all my life these things aren't hard to spot. But... I'd be interested to know who made it... they did a damn nice job! BPS |
This is what an original Hawken looks like.

Finally got a reply from Doc White Here's his REPLY: "Hawken Shop (St. Louis) reproduction, late 1970's, most probably. Cherry Corner's lock, Douglas 8 groove barrel, breeching (no longer available in that format) typical of the era. Art Ressel was once the owner of the shop. Don't know where he is now. . DOC" |
