Title: Riflemans Pouch
Post by: Wmasswolf on May 24, 2025, 12:01:35 AM

One of the bags I fell in love with early in my bag making journey was the ridlemans bag, as issued in the 1830's-50s. I loved exploring its origins and previous models. This version is designed to be late 1820's. The earliest versions (1803) were seperate from the horn and later the famous Ames Peace Flask (made in my hometown of Chicopee Massachusetts) This small split bag was designed to carry additional round balls and tools. The pouch will be heading to TX with a member of the New Orleans Greys.

Very nice work on the bag. I have made 2 of these and I love them, 1 has a rifleman's horn with a levered spout and the other is rigged with a peace flask. They are just the right size for a hunt.

Nice. It's different from the typical hunting pouch, and I like the historical aspect.

Very good looking pouch.
Is there a pattern available anywhere?

I belive the rifle shoppe has a set of printed plans for the full set.

I used the Rifle Shoppe plans, they where most helpful.

I got one from Jay a couple of years ago. Extremely well made, and perfect size and configuration.
Can’t recommend it highly enough. If you’re thinking about getting one, do it!

That is a very cool design.  Simple, but a lot of character.
