Thanks for sharing. Looks like this guy carried two powder chargers? Is there any date for this bag?

 

[suzkat]

No date. There were 2 bullet molds in the bag also. I wish I knew why.

 

[hawk]

were the molds the same cal.? maybe had two guns or a combo gun??

 

[suzkat]

Two molds, one was 34 and one 36 cal.

That long powder measure looks like a 30-30 case. The other looks like a pistol case of some sort.

That is a nice little box for the caps.

Nice rig. I always ejoying seeing original gear. Thanks for posting. Oh, are the straps attaced to the sides of the bag? It kinda looks that way to me.

 

[dbiggers]

Oh you've got a nice set-up there... :bow: Where did you come across them??

 

[suzkat]

Got them at a small estate auction recently up near the Allegheny National Forest. Straps are attached to the sides of the bag. The bag is coming apart from age. I plan to put it in a display case and leave it there. Too fragile to
play with. I wonder how old it is? My guess is mid 19th century.

Hard to tell about the two molds, one theory would be the rifle started as a .35 caliber and he had her freshened and she then became a .37 caliber???
