Chambers English pistol

Any of you guys built one of Chambers English pistols?  Just curious what you thought.  I'm thinking about picking one up in .58 smooth.

I heard about this pistol, but have been unable to find a photo or any other info about it. Still nothing on Chamber's web site.
If anyone can post a photo, I'd sure appreciate it.

Jim's website says American flintlock pistol and this thread says English pistol.  Am I missing something or does Jim have a new addition to his offerings?

Exactly...that isn't it .   ???  By the way, the English kit is listed along with the American pistol kit, in the price list.  They just don't have a photo posted.

It appears the Chambers Website update fairy is on sabbatical.  ;)

Ahh ha!  I was unaware that they had another pistol in the works. I checked that thread. Very nice looking.  Post some pics of the build if you get one Ezra.
