Home made Dragoon pistol box

Post by Mossyoak1957 »

Pretty much all done except for a reproduction Colt label I'm waiting for that goes on the inside of the lid.

Made the wood look old by stabing it with a old hunting knife. :lol:
The material on the bottom of the box is a piece of unused heavy upholstery material from the 1920's

That could be and old box just by looking at it, very well done.

That box does not take away from the looks and the form following function of the Dragoon. It makes the Dragoon appear to be right at home.

Great job -- I like it!

You gave me an idea...

I'll have to take some pictures of my older guns in black & white and see if I can recreate some of those vintage images from the past...

Oh my -- when was the last time you heard someone wanting to take b&w images?!?! :shock:
