Just for the sake of discussion only...
After drooling over the posted pic above and not that familiar with that type of firearm, I wonder what type of material it is resting in? It kinda-sorta looks like a cutout formed piece of wood with cloth material pressed and glued to it for a firm fit, thusly holding the gun in place. Any ideas or suggestions? Were the manufacturers making boxes for guns back then or was this an after-market thing as in presentation-made?
Also, was the use of CW images on powder flasks, as in the pic, period-correct for this particular firearm?
Just curious and hope to garner some good data from all you powder pros out there.
Best regards and good shooting!
