Gentleman 's shooting pouch

[kansas_volunteer]

Imagine you are a well fixed gentleman living in a settled peaceful part of the country. You own a fine rifle you bought at the very end of the percussion era. A couple of decades have passed and you're still shooting the gun in matches. What would your shooting bag look like? You can afford nice things. .Could the pouch be nice leather made by a local craftsman, or perhaps fine cloth?

Mine at that point would look like a wood box possibly covered in leather. with a fitted interior. Don't need no pouch for matches.

I would go with a purposely built leather bag, with nice pockets for all of the accouterments.

 

[Uncle Miltie]

It would be a finely made bag of calfskin.

Well, I've never been accused of being a gentleman nor have my cohorts. A finely made bag/horn would be wasted on me.

Commercial made bags were available fine work by harness makers. For this impression I would look to English or German bags as a guide

When I bought my Pedersoli SXS 12, I wanted the gentleman sporting attire(something that would be useful in the field).
With a little imagination and a lite budget, I found a woman’s purse that was made in India that has served that very purpose, and cost around $35.00
I still use it to pheasant hunt, and had several compliments on the bag.
