As I'm sure most forum members are aware, Hamilton Bowen is one of the best custom Handgun and rifle shops around today, if not the best. Mr. Bowen has been working on a book concerning custom revolvers and it is scheduled for release sometime in April. Here is a little bit of info about it.
HAMILTON BOWEN'S NEW BOOK
"THE CUSTOM REVOLVER"
Bowen Classic Arms is pleased to report that Hamilton Bowen's book THE CUSTOM REVOLVER is at the printing house and should be printed, bound and shipped to the firm's office by April 1 (2002 that is). Last minute updates of some of the color photography delayed printing a bit but these adjustments are now compete so, barring unforeseen famine, pestilence or disaster, books should be available shortly.
This book is the most comprehensive and detailed study of custom revolvers ever undertaken. Heavily illustrated with nearly 300 b/w photos and 16 color plates, it covers every facet of custom revolvers, including sights, barrels, cylinders, grips, finishing, accuracy, ammunition, the basic guns and much, much more. Also covered are a museum-quality reproduction of the Keith No. 5 revolver, a .577 Redhawk, Colt Flat-Top Targets, Ross Seyfried's No. 13 .475 and other, exotic revolvers. This is a 'must read' book for revolver enthusiasts.
A dedicated section of the website is nearing completion that will describe the book in more detail and provide ordering information. Our secured shopping cart should be up and operating shortly for purchases of not only the book but parts and accessories, as well. Watch for a new navigation marker on the website's front page. Customer, catalog holders and those signed up on our mailing list should see postcards or e-mails within the next few weeks announcing the glad tidings.
For more information or updates, check Bowen's website at http://www.bowenclassicarms.com/
I'm sure this will be of value to all revolver and gun enthusiasts and collectors.
