I have a bag I really enjoy using. See pics below. It’s a Virginia style bag, but has a small hatchet attached to the back which is perfect for use cleaning a deer or breaking up small kindling.
Problem is I just can’t figure what time period to place this in…. I have rifles that are very early 1760s style to late fur-trade percussion guns.
The Virginia styling is obviously early. Is the attached hatchet offensive to that time period? Alternatively, would this style bag be seen in the 1840’s?
I strive for historical accuracy to the degree that I can, and within my means, and I hope to attend some juried events back East before I die.
Thoughts, opinions and ridicule are all equally welcome!
