Presentation Box Colt 1851

Joe,

That is some very fine work on the case.
I have been scraping lots of example pictures for myself to plan a similar idea for my Grandad's Colt 1849 pocket, which I now have.
Mine has been beat up quite a bit, but you can just see the stagecoach scene on the cylinder if you look close.

I really like the lock detail on yours, and I'm always interested in the accessories, as mine came with none.
I like the idea of a powder flask, and a compartment for the caps.
I've seen others with a section for the lead ball moulds too.

It looks like you powder measure is a rimmed case, cut to the proper volume?

You have done a great job there, thanks for sharing.
Regards,
Fritz.
