go back and do an archive search in Mr Bernard Levine's forum here at BF. FYI the Joe Musso bowie used to be the Sweet bowie. It was in the Sweet collection when it was included in Petersons book as I remember.
I am trying to find a picture online of the quillion on the Musso Bowie so I can see what the star and the JB look like. Any suggestions? Thanks BS

I knew Bill Sweet since the late 1960's. We wrote and phoned each other many times
before his death. The object of our discussions was, of course, the "Bowie" style he
acquired in the South-West. I know the complete story of that knife, and would have been the NEXT owner of it had I not been out of the country when Bill Sweet passed away. I was always ONE STEP BEHIND OWNING THAT KNIFE.
I also know Joe Musso, and count him as one of my friends. HIS Bowie is similar to the
"now-missing" Sweet Bowie. The two knives are DIFFERENT from one another.

P.S. I have a 3/4 scale Sweet knife made by 'Carvel Hall.' It was this model that led
me to Bill Sweet- from Massachusetts, to his (final) home in Nevada. He was a wonderful
man and told the truth about the knife, saying it was just a "Bowie-style" (never said it
belonged to James Bowie) knife. I have all this documented. Joe Musso is aware of all
this, and he's one truthful man as well.
