Ill look into the 50s. It will all depend what the gunsmith is will to take on. He has done some crazy projects for me like a Tactical lever gun and cutting down the barrel of a flintlock rifle to about 12 inches, because I saw a 17th century original meant for hunting from horseback. He didnt mind the flintlock project too much; but boy has he reminded me how much work the lever gun was, even though hes had four other customers have him do one for them ever since they saw mine...

I cant imagine there will be much future Howdah requests after mine.
