    Prince Albert 1819-1861

    I love what you've done with the case and the pistols and it doesn't bother me if the accessories aren't 100% contemporary but you know the thing that really screams out me as being so so wrong? The labels. Would they still have been using percussion pistol era labels advertising that they were gunmakers by appointment to Prince Albert 50 or so years sfter his death? No way! The warrant would have lapsed!

    Matt's label, on the other hand.... just right.

    You were looking at an early photo when I was still experimenting with the main label. The final label I glued on was Matt’s Label!! The little label between the pistols was just laid in. Thought it looked cool but a small accessory could take its place? If someone would send me an original WR wrench I could fill that space perfectly?
