I have just sent away - and received intel upon its receipt - that it is "horrible"- the last Phil Collins Bowie that ever I shall make.
I expect it to be returning home soon and it will be available at a discount.
The Musso Bowie.
Named for its famous owner, Joe Musso.
Former owner that is. It's since been purchased by a more famous and even more clueless "collector" and "history buff", Phil Collins.
Yeah, that Phil Collins.
For me, the Bullshit Bowie has been a cash cow and pain in the butt ever since I was first asked to make one.
First off: Everyone wants it to be "authentic". Just like the one that alcoholic, slave trader Jim carried - while being slaughtered in his sickbed at the heroic "suicide by Mexico" AKA the Alamo.
It's bullshit. Not even period.
Best estimates - from people who aren't looking for a clueless Brit rock star to sell it to - Made in the '20's.
So, recent purchaser can grudgingly hang onto it as the last of a line of... fifty? Or he can send it back so someone else can be be the proud owner of the last Plowshare Forge, Phil Collins Bowie.
