How can you tell the difference between an original Mowry and a reproduction
This was a Mowry kit, from down in Texas prior to them closing down, as per the paperwork and the newspaper the brass forestock was wrapped in. Not sure if anyone has restarted a reproduction line of those.

That’s OK, really nice herd.
KILLER! they are a gun that you don't see all that often. keep me informed on the range report. I have an original one that THE BROS, ON THE OLD ISLAND IN NY, back in the day made it into a shot gun. BANNERMAN'S on the island.
I just got this unfired Hawkin style rifle, made mostly by Allen Postel of Gilbert, IA, from his estate. I believe Mr. Postel passed away last year. Other details about this rifle are posted at this link:
Rifle builder Allen B. Postel of Gilbert, IA
I am looking forward to firing it!

Beautiful art. Id like to see the rest. Thanks for posting it.,
I don't have anything but production guns for the common folk.
Must admit I am a tad jealous of some of the guns.
But I must make comment on Dave Persons' art!
WOW!
just wow sir, you are a fine craftsman

you have the fun guns.
Hey frankie, I included a link to the other photos, but it isn't obvious. Click on the line in either my OP or your quote that says 'Rifle builder Allen B. Postel of Gilbert, IA . The forum software must have converted it to this, since I copied and pasted the entire link. Sorry for the confusion! Best regards!
thank you Clint.
I dont say this often but you have a gem. I had to go back and look at it again!!
I hope this post keeps going. I cant get enough of the pictures. Very unique rifles. Clint Meier just posted a "oner"
Do you have website or something where I could see your work?Hi,
Some of my gems that I own and shoot. I made them all.

Hey frankie, for a first Hawkin build, that is a very handsome piece, indeed! Beautiful hunk of Walnut and great unique case color hardening on the lock plate! Did you do that metal finishing work yourself too? I'm impressed either way!

Such beautiful woods shown on these firearms. They are works of art.
