In this thread people are discussing Hawkens they built or had someone build for them, lots of pictures for reference.

Herb has built many outstanding Hawkens, here is his latest rifle and and plenty of reference material on how he replicated an historic rifle.

I had forgotten about this place, someone on the ALR site just posted it, this is the end all be all of historically correct Hawken kits, the parts are cast from molds made from the original gun parts.

I'm digging into that site now. Thanks!

This jewel just came up at a give away price, it was sold in the blink of an eye, it was really nicely made.

Eric Krewson:
A little more perspective what an original Hawken build would be like with the pros and cons.
On page 3 Herb, who has built around 50 Hawkens rifles, posted a picture to put the size and weight of a copy of an original in perspective along with lighter guns he built as he got older.
