Old Percussion Cap Speed Loader

[PathfinderNC]

Though I don’t shoot caplocks, I saw this antique cap holder and thought it might be of interest to someone who enjoys seeing how the old timers got by.
This is made of leather and the article said it was attached to a shoulder strap used for easy re-capping. Four original caps are still on it.

For one who loads from the bag at the range or in the field, some form of capper, whether elaborate or plain, is very helpful.

I shudder to imagine opening a tin of caps to pluck one out each time. Spilling the tin would be very unfortunate.

I use one of the disk-shaped leather cappers and they work supremely well. Interesting design above. I guess it holds the caps well on the leather nubs since they've been there for so many years.

When I need to use my cap lock at a Woods Walk, I use the capper I displayed in a previous post.
