Today I present the contemporary right handed Hawken I scored on an estate auction in Maine in late October. On Saturday the 24th of December it was delivered and when I opened the box I was stunned. I had never held such a beautiful work intended to be just a tool for some historical character.
1. Curly maple stock
2. Lock by Robbins dated 4-1974 (a lock maker in Michigan 60's - 70's)
3. 54 caliber barrel by w.m. Large, tapered 1 1/8" to 1" (also has J.J.J.J. stamped under the Large logo (?)
4. Fitted under the forearm is a sheet metal wear plate which covers the wood from the rear entry pipe to wrapping around the front of the trigger plate. *
5. Island type patch box
6 From the estate of Frank Glenn Marsh (?)
7. Tapered Oak ram rod
* This feature is new to me but when I saw it I immediatly understood what it is for and why it's useful.
