Default Pepperbox - DIY - Show & Tell

In my several trips to England I bought several ca. 1840 pepperboxes for $5-10 apiece & sold them here for $25 or so. Years later, wishing I'd kept one, this was my option -- DIY --




Not intended as a repro, more figuring out "what next". Started with .22 barrel, cut, tapered & silver soldered together, thereafter stuff from my parts & material accumulation. Six rotation is from a steel nut, springs mostly from old sawblades & files, stock hackberry tree I grew up under, rod up thru right side is unload pushrod, decor from a scrapped pewter plate -- made 2002 ---
