unfortunately I cannot fire the original cylinder because I cannot get any of my percussion caps to fit the cones, so I am getting a modern cylinder fitted so I can fire this .31 pocket revolver

No, the chambers on this one are unusually large. A .320 ball just rolls on down to the bottom. I've been using .322 balls and they aren't exactly a tight fit.
 
I got this one for $60 as it was a bit rough and didn‘t work. After repairs I made new grips then color case hardened the hammer, frame and loading lever. Also did the charcoal blue on the barrel and cylinder. Lately I silver plated the grip frames. It had no manufacturing marking so other then Italian it’s a replica.

I do also .. Colt 3rd Generation..built under Colt license by the guy who also ramrodded the 2nd Generation for Colt and then went on to start and owns the Henry Rifle Company

That Henry company is a good-un. New York must be ticked that he's headquartered there. In fact, the Kahr guys moved over the border to Pa., because of the hostile NY atmosphere.
