Caladisi kid Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 I had a 45 colt Hawes many years ago. Here is some info on co. history. 8. 1959 – Haywood “Hy” Hunter makes a deal with J.P. Sauer & Sohn in West Germany to make his Colt SAA clones with himself to distribute in the US. J.P. Sauer & Sohn begins production of the single action revolver named the “Western Six Shooters” with calibers ranging from .22lr to .45 Long Colt. The revolvers were made with varying barrel lengths and shell type handles made from either plastic or wood. (Approximately 300,000 were produced for the U.S. market) 9. 1960 – Haywood “Hy” Hunter begins importing and distributing the J.P. Sauer & Sohn Colt SAA clones. Being both robust and inexpensive compared to their competitors, they were immediately popular and played a role in the demise of Great Western Arms. Early & Modern Firearms, Inc also advertised and distributed these J.P. Sauer & Sohn Colt SAA clones from Mr. Hunter. 10. 1964 – Haywood “Hy” Hunter testifies before a Senate Investigating subcommittee concerning arms dealings and foreign machine gun importation. Mr. Hunter also hints at a connection between the CIA and the American Weapons Corp., the parent company of Hy Hunter Inc. 11. 1967 – Hawes Firearms Company is formed (Martha Hawes; former employee of Hy Hunter) and begins distributing the J.P. Sauer & Sohn SAA clones advertised as their “Marshal” line of single action revolvers, with such model names as: a. Western Marshal b. Montana Marshal c. Silver City Marshal d. Federal Marshal e. Chief Marshal f. Deputy Marshal (Early 67’ and 68’ models can be found with the model name “Western Sixshooter”.) 12. 1980 - Hawes Firearms Company goes out of business as a result of several lawsuits involving accidental discharges of their “Marshal” line of single action revolvers. J.P. Sauer & Sohn sells their revolver operation and tooling to Herman Weihrauch Waffenfabrik in the Bavarian town of Mellrichstadt. The Weihrauch Revolver Company currently produces the SAA clone through EAA under the model name “Bounty Hunter” with updated safety features. The serial number doesn't follow the pattern of that of the Hy Hunter or Hawes revolvers as it has a letter followed by four numbers. The letters appear to indicate the caliber of the gun, A=.22 B=.357 C=.45 D=.44. I have come across several guns online that share similar marking between the years of 1964-1968. The name of "L.A. Western Six Shooter" also seems to be an oddity found only on some of the guns found during this time period. Hawes as a company wasn't formed until September of 1967 according to California Secretary of State records, with George Hawes listed as the registered agent. An article about Hy Hunter in Guns Magazine lists him as running E&M Firearms Co., could this be a mistake? Seems to be to big a mistake for such a popular gun magazine at the time.

Bailey Creek,5759 Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 I have a pair of them in 44 Mag. The one i purchased in 1978 has a 44 Mag, 44-40 Cylinder. Very good Revolvers. Guns and Ammo had an article on imported Colt clones in 1997. Said that J.P. Sauer & Sohn were the most accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
