ADetailed replica of this Firearm Modification is available from Pedersoli, and was last offered by Dixie Gun Works, and One is on Display in Their Firearms History Museum. I am Not certain if Pedersoli has an Agent here in America. They are in Northern Italy. You may also want to contact Ralph Marcum in McKee Kentucky, @ HootenOldTown.com
