Excellent job. I have the same revolver, and it also hadn't that gate. About two years ago I found how to make the ammo (mine is 12 mm) with .45 ACP cases. So, I made the loading gate as you but in iron. I'm surprised with its accuracy. In my country, Argentina, is free to use because is a model before 1870 (don't need registration).
That was very good work. Simple yet well done. No special tools or equipment, just care and precision hand-crafting, much like how the revolver was first made. The use of brass was a good choice, with the end result complimentary to the style and age of the revolver. While it is clearly new visually, it does not detract at all. Again, well done.
Like many great gunsmiths and engineers of old, the most common tool here is the file. You have done an excellent job, keeping the originals function while indicating the replaced component.
I believe Giulio Fiocchi still made 9mm pin fire ammo in the late 90's. May be you can find some. Bloke at the range has a good video on reloading the 12mm pin fire ammo.
Cool video. My grandfather acquired one of these in Germany right after the end of the war and my dad has it. Not sure if same model but it's Belgian. He bought the stuff to make ammo but hasn't tried yet.
Hey, I just picked up an old pinfire. It's missing some springs in it. Someone is messed with it and lost some parts. I need to find out if I can get these parts anywhere and how to identify them and what it looks like on the inside is there anyway I could get help.
you might find some information at hlebooks. they offer some virtual books about common pinfire types that you can buy and download with detailed pictures of the interior parts of many common pinfire revolvers. But as the channel owner said: you'll probably have to make the part individually (or have it made by someone) because they might vary in their dimensions, for which you won't find info there anyway. That same source also sells reload kits to make pinfire cartridges yourself btw (look for HC-collection). They are based in France. Exporting shell cases that are not centrefire is not a problem according to them (I had mine shipped to Switzerland) but I don't know how import restrictions are where you live.

Really? I never would have thought someone made pinfire ammo in the last 100 years. I'll keep an eye out
Project turned out beautifully

Unfortunately these were mostly hand made and there's not any standard models. Finding a spring that will drop in will be extremely difficult.
