The "vintage" cartridge Howdah with hammers, bottom left, imagine how beautiful it would be with the same stock as the flintlock above.

What brainless ffffwittery led Pedersoli to choose that aweful stocking?

Slimmed forend and rounded pistol grip, so much nicer. So obvious.

I don't see how the difference in price is justified in the workmanship. However I hope they keep making, if they do, this hammer "vintage" model.

Imagine a brace of them, restocked of course. A tan leather cartridge belt with loops filled with brass .410 cartridges loaded with ball or conicals, or shot. Even better, criss crossed shoulder cartridge loop belts. Bandito time.
