First, good looking pistol.
You will get more action on this post if it is in the black powder forum. A mod can move it for you. I have several black powder revolvers but I got them used and without any "stuff" so I will not be much help. All my original usage info was found in an old Ideal reloading manual from the 50's.
 
I have no info. Just wanted to at those sweet.
I had one as my first revolver.
You might make a box and get a flask from dixie gun works or track of the wolf if you just want appearance instead of original.
 
Originally they came in a cardboard slip top box. A prepaid warranty card and sometimes an instruction manual. No tools or other accoutrements.

If you purchased a cased set it (or they if you bought a pair) came in a compatmentized wooden case with a horn or flask, a nipple wrench/screwdriver, and maybe a brass bullet mold. Plus the usual warranty card and instruction manual.

I had a Navy Arms Remington NMA that I got back in the early '80s and all it came in was a cardboard box, with a warranty card and a very brief instruction manual.
 
This has a Brass frame but it shows the NA box:

Notice that the foam has cut outs for flask, mold, etc. These were only seldom included in specials but you could buy them at extra cost and they would put them in the box for you.
Here is a cased set from Navy Arms:

Beautiful gun and love the plain cylinder having no roll engraving. It looks as if it was a user...pulled in and out of a holster quite a bit. I like its natural wear look.
 
Thanks For your responses, And yes I bought the vintage cardboard Box from eBay That was suggested.
 
I like the rugged horse saddle blanket cases sold at October Country for storage. Blackpowdershooter 44 does make various display cases but I have never tried one and I don't know the price.
