A Small bag for a Small Rifle and Horn

[Capt. Jas.]

Kangaroo leather with a handmade brass buckle after a Virginia dug original in my collection. The little bag has a gusset and a rear internal pocket.

Beautiful bag and very nice workmanship!

Lovely bag which last and last as Kangaroo leather is one of the strongest leathers with a very high strength to weight ratio , it makes great lacing .

Owner's preferred leather due to its characteristics.

That's an exceptionally fine bag. All the ones I've made were small for just a few hours in the bush.

Where were the kangaroos in Virginia? I lived there for 10 years and never saw one.

Where do you think the pouch came from in the first place ?

Excellent work as always. I assume that is one of your hand made buckles?
Do you have any more info on the original?

Nothing more than it came out of the ground in a detector find. Some of these dug buckles in Virginia are very old but due to some locations I theorize they saw re-use on other items at later periods.

Sorry, I meant info on the original bag.
But thank you for the response and information about the buckle. I figured it was based on your collection of original buckles.

“I’m not sure what was in it, but it left behind round droppings that are as heavy as lead…” lol

That’s nice! I’m in the process of making some bags out of 3oz veg tan leather. What is the overall size of this one, and how wide is the gusset?

That's a fine bag, job well done.
