Thank you. I've followed the late Mike Petrov's discussions about all the best American custom makers, and read his two books, but there isn't much information on Owen after WW2. I've seen and contemplated buying, a two-barrelled 20 gauge Belgian sidelock with Owen's name and Port Clinton address several years ago, but haven't a clue what he offered or how many guns he built in that time period. I find it strange Owen never had any sort of brochure that advertised his varied offerings, and have seen Austrian, Belgian, German, and English manufactured shotguns stocked by him at various times in his career, as well as the commercial '98 Mauser actioned rifles along with his Springfields before WW2, and FN commercial Mausers after the war. Anyway, whatever anyone could add to the discussion would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Sandlapper
