Searles/Fowler Bowie
The Daniel Searles Bowie, made on commission from R.P. Bowie in the 1830s, is perhaps the finest example of an early Bowie copy still in existence. The presentation-grade knife is inscribed on the sheath throat, " R.P. Bowie to H.W. Fowler, U.S.D. "The knife resides in the Alamo Museum, San Antonio, Texas.
