Looking for someone who can Cast or Replicate or Locate or Recommend someone that can help me procure a Tiny Pain in My Life calleda Hinged Patch Box Cover/Lid that's shaped like a Conch Shell?
Unfortunately I can't upload a Picture but I finally located the Exactsame Brass Hinged Patch Box Cover on another Firearm's Buttstock!

In the Picture of the Blunderbuss you can easily see My Object of Desire!
Thank Everyone Kindly!

Is this the one? Unusual to be seen on the left side. Since the gun is percussion (never flint) it probably is a cap box and not a patch box.

If you borrow or make a wooden pattern any Yellow brass founder will run you one. if few today like to run yellow brass because of the fumes . bronze they like but its harder to file up use NEW files as used ones wont cut as well . There where a lot of continental guns had the shell like cap boxes .

Hell Yes! You are All My Absolutely Best New Amigos!
Personally, I don't know S@#t from Shinola about these Toys but I'm learning fast!
Like the difference between a Patch Box and a Powder Box?
Actually, it's obvious!
A "Lost Wax" cast, a 3D printed replica?
Where should I begin? Super detailed pictures and Exact Measurements of the openings on my "Thunder Pipe?"
You Boys are the Best!

Actually it's the closest thing to a "Yellow Cup" sea shell from what I've been able to ascertain!
And as for your Uncontrollable Desires, impeccable taste surely Ain't Cheap!
Neither are the vast majorities of worthwhile hobbies!

Don’t know if this is what you’re looking for exactly, but this is one I have laying around.

It's almost exactly the Damned Holy Grail that I have Wasted 200 hours looking for but we need to take Exact MEASUREMENTS!
At least I'm definitely on the right track!
Thank You Kindly,
