Sorry, Dean, my co-author on the article was Mark Conrad, not Austin. As I recall, Austin took the photos at the Southern, but did not give himself credit in the article. Mark did the extensive records research. The PP issue was Autumn 2007, Volume 14, issue 3. Unfortunately, the gold balls at the breech are not pictured. This is because Mark had only Austin's photos to research the actual gun and the photos did not include a picture of the "gold balls". The gold balls are enormous and cannot be described as "beads".
