   I have already agreed that the Searles/Fowler Bowie is valid at least as   
   for as the Rezin connection goes. This is the discontinued knife sold by   
   Atlanta cutlery. It may have been the only reproduction knife that had a   
   real historical connection to any Bowie. I know most of them don't. I'd need   
   to check on the rest if somebody named them.
