I just checked the auction after its completion - it sold for $1476. I don't know if it was a Bowen gun or not (you'd think the seller would mention it, if it were) but it certainly looked good in the pictures.

Maybe someone thought that bought a RARE S&W

Nice gun but I don't think I would not of bought it not knowing the builder

If that is not a Bowen gun, somebody is doing a pretty good job of copying Hamilton's work. I've got three Bowen HDs, and his jobs are pretty distinctive. Unfortunately, he doesn't sign them. But Hogue rubbers on a Bowen! Damn and yuck!! Ought to give rise to a matter-antimatter reaction! they should look like these (or the OP's-it's MIGHTY nice!):
