Well here is the finish product. I still would like to get some felt for the notch in the back piece but, other than that it is done. All it cost was $2.00 for the hinge.

I first bought the revolver years ago from Gander Mountain after I became interested in the Civil War because I had learned about my Great Great Great Grandfather Leander Allen who was in the Union Calvary and had fought at the battle of Gettysburg and survived. From what I had learned after the battle of Gettysburg he was assigned to Washington where he ended up looking for John Wilkes Booth after he had shot President Lincoln. So there is a little bit of history there.

All this chit chat of civil war and black powder revolvers and such makes me want to go shoot.
