WANTED Shot Snake/Pouch and Flask

[YJake]

Looking for a shot snake/pouch with an English or Irish spout and a metal powder flask to go with it. Let me know what you have available. I’ve been having a hard time finding what I’m looking for online.

Are you looking for a pouch type leather pouch (I have one) or are you looking for the longer over the shoulder type snake? steg49

I make them, but the cost of an new English or Irish spout is around $70.00 shipped. Therefore, the total cost would run around $125.00. Be glad to make one, but they are expensive.

Just saw a re-run Antiques Roadshow; a Plains Indian shot snake, 1840's, increased over 15 yrs. from 30-40 thousand to up to 55 thousand! Exc. cond., w/ provenance. Beautiful thing! Lady thought it was tobacco pouch. Indian-made with all trade-goods beads & cloth.

This is the shot pouch that I have. It came from the bi-centennial Berretta Over-under shotgun. Has the Irish Head with 3 adjustments and holds about 30 oz. I used it in my duck hunting days but don't need it any more. Asking $75 shipped.

I sold an Irish over the shoulder snake at Friendship three weeks ago for $20.00.

Wow, someone got a deal of a lifetime.

They are not that hard to build, the one on the left is an original Hawksley and the one on the right is one that I cobbled together when the only spout I could find was an Irish one. Try building one yourself you might surprise yourself.

I don't use the original as the leather is cracking from age and I want to preserve it for as long as possible so that is why I built the new one.

Jake I need to pull my offer of the shot pouch. Sorry, steg49
