I have not at this stage made a pan cover, but that will come in time.
Comments welcome.

Hi Stu.
Well, that gun cleaned up really nice! Good job! And finding the brass decoration on the barrel is a bonus. Sometimes we never know whats under all the crud till we clean it. LOL. Should display well in your collection.
The pan cover is missing on mine also. Seems that most of them are on these guns. I too plan on having one made. Here are a couple of pics of original pan covers in case you're interested. Rick.
