I picked this beauty up on a trade. It has been refinished and the guy said he told it was done by Bowdoc, but he had no proof of that. Here are some photo's.

Nice!
I've had a few restorations done by the bowdoc over the years and I see a couple things:
1. The writing is like that done by Don
2. The grip is also like the ones he uses.
If you are really wanting confirmation, Don keeps a record of all serial numbers and could verify if this is his work.
Don is so busy with his work and other issues that contacting him may take a few days.
Thanks Blackhawk. I may see if I can contact Mr. Bowdoc.
