Yes, there were brass mounted Hawkens. I think this one is in the Cody Firearms Museum, though they did not have it out when I examined and measured their Hawkens a few years ago. This photo is from Jim Gordon's book. I built a rifle from these pictures, mine shown above. I left off the patch box. It was for a young woman. You can right click twice to enlarge the photo.

Beautiful work, Herb! I’ll bet that was one happy gal when she got that rifle.

Sorry I asked the question. I guess as a long time member of NMLRA and been shooting flints since before you were born, I deserved your sarcasm. Farking jerk.
