I've got an uncle who has some of those guns and is a collector. I may just have to buy one to make for him when this is done...

If he isnt too far away maybe you can get some reference photos if it would help in the design?

I can dig in my digital archive... I might have a few arms manuals lying around somewhere! Always been into "the art of war"

On a more personal note, my favorite era is still the time before the invention of gunpowder!

I'm not sure 'bout that. They're over a hundred miles away, I rarely see them and they're in the process of building a house right now...
