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.

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

That is one excellent Pocket model you got. I couldnâ??t resist showing you mine boxed version.

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

Yes that is correct, it is my shooter and I built two different volume measurements for it out of 38-55 cases.
