This is a pistol and display case I built back in 1988 and gave to my step father. I got it back when he passed away in October. The pistol is a CVA reproduction kit of a 1851 Colt Navy muzzle loading pistol. I polished up the powder flask and then fitted up the display case from some Styrofoam and an old silverware case. I think it turned out pretty well. It has had exactly 50 shots fired through it once I finished it. I built this up when I was in the Navy and did it completely in my barracks room and there is no telling how much trouble I'd have gotten into if I'd been caught with it.
