Examine pictures of actual timeperiod pieces so you can mimic the lines and curves of the originals. These were always far more elegant than the reproductions you see. Swamp the barrel and grip to allow proper balance. Most checkering of the period was flat top and fairly course, often with a dimple in the middle of each diamond. And rust blue or brown all the non-brass metal. Let's see it when it is done.
