If the only original pieces are the lock, barrel, and it appears the trigger, you have done an incredible job duplicating the wood stock profile and metal fittings. The barrel bands, other brass/pearl decoration look very well done, and in the traditional manner. And the lock looks like it cleaned up perfectly. Looks like all you need is a iron ramrod.

A question: Where did you locate the small, round, brass starburst inserts ? I have been trying to locate those for years.

As mentioned above, if you have any photos of the gun before restoration, please post them. As well, some additional details of the restoration.

Again, congratulations on a wonderful restoration.

I have only these pictures from restoration. Small round, brass starburst inserts we say in Bulgarian "rozetki" (розетки), I made them it.
