This big 58 caliber Hawken was purchased six years ago as a "kind of unfinished" project. The patchbox and trigger guard were added by myself and were both purchased from Ebay from a non-collector. I have thought they may be original St. Louis parts as the patchbox is heavy, thick, of very high quality and was well oxidized when I received it.
After a little "right echelon" maintenance, it made into a pretty nice rifle.
The rest of the doin's in the picture are of my making. The rifle scabbard and pouch are made of American buffalo. The beadwork is compliments of our Chinese brothers.
I had thought it may be Sharron components.
