factory box research
I have been in woodworking for 20+ years and for a change would like to produce a line of fitted wood gun boxes and I'm looking for photos or titles of books showing details of examples from Colt and other manufacturers or their distributors in the period from 1840 to 1910. I plan on these boxes to be as close to original as possible in dimension and material for such models as Colt single actions,1851 Navys etc.but info on any example would help.also any info on fitted boxes for Winchester rifles(if there was such a thing) would help.Thank you

R.L. Wilson books have pretty good photos.
"Colt: An American Legend" has a couple chapters on percussion models, with some photos of cased specimens.0 -
