A kit from the 80’s

After reading Glenn’s article about the CVA black powder derringer he once put together,  I decided I had to post a picture of mine.   Coincidently enough,  built during about the same time period as Glenn’s.  The top photo is by light of my computer monitor,  on the bottom photo, I used the flash to get a more realistic image.

  In case your wondering,  it’s a CVA .45 cal. Philadelphia Derringer.  A  kit/copy of a piece that was supposedly popular with card sharks in early Philly.  I put it together back in the early 80’s.  I alway’s meant to put together a cap and ball revolver too,  but  I guess I never got around to it.
