Now I have some pouches I have worked on.  Most are combinations with horns, knives maybe a powder measure.  I prefer to sell combos where I can combine a pouch and a horn, possibly a knife and sheath,  Add in a powder measure and vent pick and/or loading block to make a nice matched set for a customer.  All are bark tanned leather sewn with waxed linen thread.  All are oiled , rubbed down and waxed.  These are the starting point.  I can add to them.  Call and we can talk it over.

First up, a primitive rectangular pouch and antique horn set.


Bark tanned leather dyed dark brown.  The flap is lined with same hide and fringed around the edge and top of the flap. The cow hide strap is adjustable with an antiqued brass buckle.  The antique horn is about 12" around the curve with a pine butt plug about 2 1/2 inches in diameter.  The horn is in good shape with some cracks at the butt though no leaks. There is a 60 grain powder measure included made out of deer antler tine.

This will make a nice longhunter kit.  Asking $200.


Another primitive rectangular pouch made of bark tanned deer hide, but not stained. It is lined with the same leather and fringed around the flap. The woven strap by Kris Polozi is attached to the bag with two forged iron rings.  A food sized plain powder horn is attached to the strap.  It has a 3 inch walnut butt plug, measures 12 1/2 inches around the curve and is set up as a right carry but could be converted to left if desired.


The bottom of the pouch is an inch wider than the top. It has been oiled and waxed. I am asking $225 for this pouch.


I have this Virginia style early pouch, bark tanned leather with no dying at all. It is about 7" wide by 6" tall. It has a right carry horn attached that is 12 around the curve with a 2 1/2 inch maple butt plug.  Again it is set upi for right carry but could be switched if desired.


This bag has a small patch knife in a sheath attached to the back of the bag. The cow hide strap is adjustable with an iron buckle.  I am asking $175 for this setup as I have had it for a couple years and need to move it.  A good deal on a pouch, horn and knife.


I had some thin bark tanned weather from a small doe that I used for this pouch.  The pouch is unlined and at first I thought that might be a problem but I kind of like the way this turned out.  It would be more of a Rev War era pouch as it is bigger and perhaps something an officer in a western VA or PA militia unit might have for his personal gear. It is 7 inches wide at the top and 9 inches high The bottom is closer to 8 inches wide. The adjustable cow hide strap includes a forged iron buckle.


This set includes a 12 inch horn set up for a right carry but could be changed to left. The horn has a 3 inch butt plug and will carry about 12 oz. of powder.  I am asking $175 for this setup.
