John Ennis Pistol
The barrel, breech, lock plate, tang and trigger group came from Track of the Wolf back in the late 70's early 80's. It got shelved until recently for unknown reasons and about a year ago or so I started to work on it. I made the hammer, entry pipe, the lock internals, stock fore cap, wedge and escutcheons, thumb inlay, lock bolt plate, overlay in front of the lock bolt plate, sights and the grip cap with the cap box trap. I altered the breech considerably. I rebuilt the trigger assembly. I engraved it in the English style. Shall we call it a gentleman's St. Louis or Philadelphia pistol?
The pistol is 58 cal.
