It came out 7#13oz.  54 Cal, 34"barrel.  Hooked breech, captive wedge.  Engraving to follow. 

Thank you to all for the helpful advice on this project.

On this one I used Kibler's tannic acid then ferric nitrate crystal.  Then spar varnish+japan dryer+turpentine (six coats) rubbed on thin. Scotchbrite  between coats.
