This is a photo of a bag I prepared for a show to demonstrate what would have been carried on a hunting expedition in the early 1800's. The balls are on a pocket in the bag.
That’s a nice bag! I bought one from him a year ago but sold it and regretted it, thanks to your post I had to buy me another one

Finally gathered some pics of my bags. In recent years I’ve made a bag for each gun I hunt with regularly. That way I grab my gun and it’s bag and I know I have everything I need for a day afield.
This bag is for my .62 Yeager
This bag is for my .40 caliber
This bag is for my SxS shotgun

My current 2 bags, I'll have to get you pics of contents if you want. First bag is set up for my flintlock, it's made from oil tanned leather hand sewn with linen thread, antique buckle, it has 2 larger brain tan button close inside pockets, a knife on the back, and has 2x 54 cal balls pounded flat in the tip of the flap to help keep it closed and if I get into a pinch I can melt them down and get a couple 45 cal balls from it.
Second bag is strictly a shooting bag for my target rifle, it hangs way to low to go running in the mountains with but makes it easier to access while at the shooting range. Hand woven wool and brain tanned strap, dyed buffalo leather with red wool trade cloth. Lined with red pillow ticking and a brain tanned pocket

This thread was great for inspiration. I need to make a bag. Are there any threads like this on powder horns too? I would love to see that.

I would suggest a powder horn kit from somebody like Powder Horns and More or October Country. I tried making two from scratch before I tried a kit. First one was a failure. Second one became a shot horn. The third was a buffalo horn kit and is now my favorite horn.
I like how you did a whip stitch on the edges rather than a saddle stitch, gives it a homespun sort of look to it, looks nice!

I sure do enjoy seeing all of the fine kits you fellas have put on display. Here is my contribution.
I make my own bags, one for each firearm. I carry in the shooting bag only what is needed to keep the gun running. The short starter and flint napping hammer have since been eliminated because they are no longer needed, the muzzle has been coned, and the spine of the knife suffices to put a serviceable edge back onto a flint. The bag to the right is my possibles bag. It carries what I need for a few days in the forest.
