Beavertail Flap Belt Bag

[basultooutdoors]

Were belt bags with beavertail flaps ever used?

If so where did they originate?

And were belt bags used by longhunter frequently?

Thanks

Do you mean beaver tail shape or made from an actual beaver tail.

The shape

The styles and shapes of historical bags are not nearly as well identified as, say, the schools of rifle building. That makes it difficult to actually know this for a fact, but the beavertail shape was very common on over the shoulder bags and probably on belt bags as well. The commonality of belt bags is another thing to consider. I don't know for a fact but they were probably less common than an over the shoulder bag. Probably related to the commonality of belts, which is another thing I don't know much about.
