Model Specifications
         General specifications for all of our models

The models are very carefully crafted with a lot of careful hand fitting each one to final completion. They are of the highest standard both in materials and workmanship. The models are 100% made in the United States by Americans. They are  not imported. The models  are not cheaply made things purchased from a relic shop, tourist supply company or flea market.....they are nowhere close.

The main materials used in producing the models are brass and wood.
The barrels are machined from industrial brass bar and this material is the highest quality available from the best brass mills. Metal fittings are made from brass as well. The woodwork is produced from northern grown heirloom quality American Walnut.
