That's a really cool pistol, very nice work!  I'm with Mike and others, would be very interested in the specifics of the build.  Barrel, lock, breech area...  Thanks for posting!

John Harmon frame casting. .58 cal barrels turned and one also chisel relieved. I have frame casting set for another that I will start this spring/summer. I will document and post pictures of the building process at that time.

Where they TRS or Blackley castings? Always wanted to make a small screw barrel carbine from one of those. Kevin at Blackleys said it's doable. Above my abilities now, but in the future maybe!
You did a beautiful job, captured the feel of the originals exactly.

Thanks for sharing, could you give some details on the chamber/ball arrangement.  How does the ball size compare to the bore, powder volume?

Beautifully made pistol, but if you don't mind me saying, I don't like the muzzle decoration.   What I like doesn't matter though! rest of the pistol is lovely!
