Couple more thoughts...There was a fishscale pattern that was pretty popular.  I am working on my memory but I think Wild Bill Hickok had a slim jim with incised patterns on patten leather and also a leather with the fishscale.  The fishscale looks similar to basket weave except it is little semi-circles, like fishscale shingles on a house.

   The "possibles bag"  Has anyone ever actually seen one of these for a pistol?  Where?  I think I read that Hickok loaded from a flask to start but carried packets of combustible ammunition for back up.  No one talks about combustible ammunition because it is DANGEROUS as all get out but the Northern Armies used millions and millions of these rounds.  I think they purchased over 15 million rounds from Colt and Sage.
