I just bought a bag from BLoar here on the forum that would be perfect for your time period. He called it his black bag.

Remember big bags are a modern thing. In that time period bags were small and carried just the essentials to fire and maintain the gun.

Being a descendent of Prickett, have you ever gone to the SCHOOL of the LONGHUNTER? Lots of useful information from the folks there.
