I think you've misidentified the caliber. Looks more like .45 ACP to me.

Tbev, Except for .22, I reload all my ammo, I could take the anvil and primer compound out of a live primer making it inert and seat them in brass for you, that would make the shells look like live ammo without a primer strike and be 100% safe in the case someone dropped it and the primer took a hit. If you would like a handful of those made up just send me the brass and I'd be happy to do them up for you, just shot me a PM. I can also do about any caliber you want if you have the brass.
And just for info, the base of some different calibers are the same size as a .45 ACP. For example you could cut the base off a 30-06 or .270 rifle brass at the same length as the 45 and should be able to use it in place of the 45 for your switch. The inside diameter would be a tad smaller because rifle brass has a taper (45 ACP is straight walled) and rifle brass is thicker at the base in order to handle the higher pressure but the OD of the head and even the extraction grove is identical to the 45.
A few years ago a buddy gave me six .45 ACP shells he found at the range that have the head stamp WILSON on them, my last name is Wilson. One of these days I'm going to load them up with inert primers for display rounds, in fact I think I'll finally do it tomorrow if the wife doesn't have any plans for me.

Thanks bud I appreciate it. I had a request from a customer and I was thinking he wanted it in actual silver and I was going to have to have it coated and then I looked thru my brass, I reload too, and found the nickel ACP's .
What a score with those Wilson rds. thats pretty cool. I'd like to do a bullet facing up maybe, but unless you wanted a pretty tall button you wouldn't be able to tell what it was.

but I do have a Derringer with the Brass top cap
You're missing out on that Marquis. To be honest, I'm tempted to buy the authentic version (not that the clone isn't very high quality, but it's climbed that high in my atty list )
Can't wait to have my tmod to go under the marquis.

Tom, after you do that, let me know how it turns out, I may be interested in a top cap for the marquis as well.
Also, let me know what the price point would be for such work?

I defiantly can do caps. The reason I haven't offered them is that they are generally pretty expensive to make. I'll make one in the next couple days for the marquis, and we'll find out..
That will be good to know. It's easy to order things but having a price up front would help.
They won ugly but they won. Hope they fix their start before Superbowl.
.275-.280 is where I'm sitting with my marquis. I actually like the fit of the peek insulator and top. Mine never falls out and it's really easy to check things in the saturation of the wick.
Plus I use the cherry vapes cloud chaser dt,so I've not experienced the metal metal getting too warm.

So I just got back and started using the marquis again and its not hot your right. Its just a bit warm compared to the plastic tips I've been usng. I was definitely jammin' on it when I got my first build done.
