Think style similar to what's in the 440+ pages, octagon barrel filed down, and TRS converted wheellock lock. That should give you a pretty fair idea. Im just starting on the ebony and it's so disconcerting looking at the sawdust (angle grinder/band saw to rough shape) being black as you think the blade is dull and burning the wood!I've had the same type pistol in mind for decades now. Except for ebony I have some billets of African Blackwood and some sterling silver. The Blackwood has a logging stamp on one end that says Product of Tanganyika so it appears to be from the early to mid 60's. I'd love to see some pics of what you're planning.
