Unsure about the horn, I bought it online but have made a few modifications. I forged the knife myself. I made the pouch and shot bag/flask as well.

I use different ones for different guns,
This one looks like an old fishing creel. I use it fo my 10g doubble, lots of room for wads, a capper, a powder flask, a knife and several pre-measured shot loads.
This one is an old hippi purse from the 60s, belonged to an old friend's ex-wife. Use this with my 12g, hojds all the above-mentioned stuff and the horn you see. 
those smooth bores sure take a lot of stuff to keep thrm shooting.
Almost forgot, I often carry a small LED flashlight in them also, But it's a traditional LED. :^)

Yes it is
Most Barlows were single bladed. This Shrade was my uncle's two bladed one.
Every so often watch my wife looking for something in her purse. Encourages me to edit my bag contents.
Sorry, guys- when I posted yesterday I had somehow missed that a “bag dump “ was about dumping out your bag. 
My rifle balls and tools live in small bags so I can swap calibers easily. Likewise, I take a primer or capper depending on which gun I’m carrying.
In the smoothbore pouch, I carry a couple of flints, tow, patches, and roundballs. Birdshot and buckshot are carried in their own bags in my pocket. Both bags and the horn strap are my work. I scrimshawed the flat horn; my brother did the rifle horn as a thank-you for teaching him how to do it. The map is the Siege of Yorktown.

This is my bag for round ball. I have another set up for shot. Everything except the straps are made by me. The bag holds patches, ball, short starter, and measure. The belt bag hold a combo tool, cows knee, extra flints, puller, etc. The belt also hold my fire kit.
The ball pouch, ticking patches, lard and oil normally live in my range bag in the truck. I carry two of the loading blocks for trail walks to lighten the load.
All of it made by me. Isn’t that what this sport is about for most people?

I have two bags. One a small day bag, and one a bit larger for extended hunting day. I carry only the eseential necessary to shoot, clean and maintain the rifle in the field. Any other items I need go into a day pack.

Is this otter?

Nope, it’s cow. The main part is leather from an old mouse eaten saddle bag found in a barn. The flap is from a cow hide from a home decor store. It was headed to the dump and I rescued it.

Hey, mine for 36 years has been a '70's "desert sunset" bag laced together w/ "White man's leather" (bootstring thongs.")²
Took it apart and laced it back up Suede side out. Used ⁵belt that matched as strap extender... Wore it to a couple of 'vous... Never heard any negative ...
Still packed u Ip w/ all my .50 cal percussion supplies....
Show a photo of it. !
Glad i wasn't the only one who didn't dump the first photo.
I only have one bag so use caps or primer horn as the gun requires. The plan is to use this cloth prototype as practice for a leather bag. a ball bag is on list of to get done thus the ziploc, tupperware with lube was borrowed from mom about 49 years ago, hard to replace that.
