a friend of the old womans, after finding out i shoot black powder, dug a old ace kit out of the attic. she said it was her husbands and was sitting there over 20 yrs and could i fix it? now although it looks like something i would not be interested in actually shooting, i would like to get in operating condition for her {deceased husbands gun} the problem is a part is missing i cant find anywhere to get parts. it seems the company who made these has changed hands several times.if i can get it to working,IS THIS PISTOL SAFE TO SHOOT? does any one here have one, or can give me any background on this pistol so i can pass its information or history on to her ? does anyone have a source that might carry parts ? ive tried dixie and other places no one can seem to pin down a place for parts. any help would be appreaciated thanx mike

You can make that piece with a piece of steel and files if you have that sort of mindset.
