Bowen Classic Arms is recognized the world over as a pioneer in the field of fine custom revolvers. Many of the shop’s best efforts revisit pre-war Colt and Smith & Wesson revolvers, borrowing heavily from the elegant sights, barrel contours and finishes that distinguished these great guns. Nineteenth-century riflemaking also offered up many touches such as Damascus steel barrels and fittings and the lovely ovate ribbed barrels peculiar to single-shot rifles from the British Isles.
