Lies,Legends and Tall Tails

[Ed Fowler]

Thanks for the help Hammerdownnow, It took me a while to figure it all out, but got it set right.

I found the information on the Huber Bowie, it is owned by Dr. Tom Stapleton. He did a lot of research on the knife and I tend to agree with his findings. Rezin and Jim Bowie went to Phiadelphia to see an eye doctor. While there they located a knifemaker to provide knives for the 'Texas Troopers'. It would have had to be an outfit with fairly large production capability. According to Dr Stapleton they contacted the "J. English and Hubers" outfit also known as the "Sheffield Works".

The knife that Dr. Stapleton own once belonged to kMr. Norton Asner, who sold it to Dr. Jim Lucie, who sold it to Dr. Stapleton. The inormation is extensive and if anyone is interested in the material I will have some copies made and mail them to you. Just maybe someone who knows computer stuff a little better could post it for all to read.
