Looks like a great start. Barrel specifications? Judging by your latest work, this should be a dandy.

 I have used inspirations from several different guns.
The lock is the Davis Early English.

Is it an optical illusion or is there no cast in engraving? I got that same lock, but it has the cast in engraving like the one pictured on their page.

No illusion. Over the years they have made a few without the engraving. I was lucky enough to find one.
