Early Appalachian pouch, 6" x 6" bark tanned deer hide.Adjustable oil tanned cowhide strap with a forged iron buckle. Attached powder horn about 13 inches around the curve. Nice long hunter knife is attached to the back of the pouch. I feel this is a set typical of what a long hunter might have carried in the last half of the 18th century. It is smaller than many modern hunters are used to but when you think about it carries all you should need to shoot and care for your long arm without forcing you to fish around in the bag for something. Originals were small bags, the hunters carried only what they needed, being on your feet all day ounces turn into pounds. I am selling this set for $350.
