I truely do admire the skilled hand and eye that can make a scale version of anything! I've seen pictures of some amazing knock offs that were made almost entirely by hand. My reservations here are: age and wear, unknown steel/starting materials, and the fact that you couldn't pay me enough to fire a brand new pistol in .303! That has got to be brutal.

I think it has interesting historical/curio value as a conversation piece, but that's it for me(not that a real howdah in say, 20 bore, is practical these days either).

Cheers!

Bob
