This is a project I started back in April when lock down was implemented. It had been it 'the to do' ;locker for a while.
The box belonged to my Grandfather but I haver no idea what happened to the revolver.

I remember the box ever since I was very young but the inside was in a mess.

The box was hidden away in storage since we moved to France in 2002 but during a serious 'lets get rid of anything we don't need want' cession' I re discovered it and thought it would make a great box for my Webley.
And so it begins................

Look forward to see the project. I made some boxes years ago for my BP reproduction pistols. Hung them on a wall in the hall.

Niner Delta... I'll make another post about the boxes. I thought I did years a go but can't find it so maybe I didn't. It's a good way to display bp pistols and still keep the dust off of them.

Now that's amazingly good. Must have taken a while and a lot of patience to accomplish that project. Well done.

Final addition to the box - a glass top so I can see it without it getting dusty!!
