Title: Bag for my trade gun
Post by: William on February 09, 2020, 09:11:37 AM
Here's the bag I paired with my 20 gauge, cherry stocked trade gun and the powder horn I had made to go with it. Both straps were made by the bag maker, "A Second Chance at History".

That's a class "A" set up!  Excellent workmanship.  I make my own stuff in a style called "junk".

Thanks everyone! One thing though, I never got notified of your responses! I see that the notification button is clicked, but I never got one.

The fellow who makes bags like this recently made some changes to the product line, most of which are improvements. The leather is a bit thinner but is softer and takes the due better. There are now better pockets inside the bags and specifically for rock locks there are now slots for holding extra flints. They also make straps for bags and for powder horns so that is why mine match as I ordered them at the same time. The quality of the Inkle woven straps is very good and cost is very reasonable.

Maybe I'll even get to actually fire my trade gun and use the bag and horn in the process.
Thanks again!
