I got this in the other day:
I have it scheduled for several weeks away, and WAY overpriced, so I can let folks look at it and not worry about anyone bidding prematurely.
There are very few references to Mowry Custom online. Most links will lead you to a picture of this same gun, many years ago.
Questions: When was it made? How many were made? What is it worth? Did it originally come in a wooden case?
Thanks in advance!

Was most likely made mid 80's found this quote in another forums comments about the gun: "A bit more Googling yielded the fact that there was an article on the Mowry Custom Ruger Redhawk in the February 1985 issue of Guns Magazine; apparently, it was the "Gun of the Month" selection. Unfortunately, that issue of that magazine is not available to buy or as a pdf download. So, I was wondering: Do any of you happen to have this back issue in a stack of old magazines in a corner of your garage or attic? I'd love to read the article if I could find it."
You probably already found this info, but if you didn't it's here: https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/mowry-custom-ruger-redhawk-44-mag.881976/
David, there were and still are a number smiths that customizer Ruger SAs and DAs since they are quite popular. Never hears of Mowry. We even have one close to where I live and he is quite popular. Had him customize a Bisley BH in 44-40 a couple years ago with a different grip frame and action job. Can bring with next trip in area.
From the pics, all I observe is a RH with a shortened barrel.
