Hi sorry for not getting back sooner,thanks to Hawg & Mykeal for there reply's.
are these differences in the 2 guns usual? we have always believed that they were a standard design, with interchangeable parts, these differances my not affect the interchangability
The differences are as follows on the older gun
1) the sweep from the end of the sighting groove to where the barrel screws in is longer.
2) the cut out on the cylinder where you fit the caps is bigger.
3) the distance from butt strap at the base of the hammer to the top of the grip is longer.
4) the grip is smaller across the base, measured along the length
5) the loading leaver web is a different shape, the curve on the underside is less.
I hope you can understand my descriptions, look forward to hearing any comments.
Have attached some photos not of the revolvers but of a couple of guns made by my friend who is doing the work on the pistols, made from scratch in his shed at the bottom of his garden, hope you like them, the first is a 7 barrel volley gun, the second is a double barrel flintlock with a turn over barrel
