Bag #50 - Despatch Case/Haversack
« on: July 17, 2022, 09:45:04 PM »
Well, I never thought I'd be at bag #50.  Doesn't feel like that many.  This is a large (12" x 13") leather despatch courier case or haversack.  3-4 ounce W&C cowhide lined with pigskin suede, a strong combination.  There is a leather stiffener and strap anchor inside the top back.  The rolled top and edge and welts are buckskin.  Forged iron buckles.  All hand stitched with linen (feel like miles of it).  This is another of my worn-in looking bags meant to look used but care for.  I'll have this one at CLA too.  I hope y'all enjoy it.   God Bless,   Marc

Thank you for the nice thoughts on my bag gentlemen. 

Bob Gerard, I got a smile out of your comment "I would be proud to wear that hunting pouch!"  At 12"x13" it would be a quite large hunting bag.   :-D    I figure someone could pack all of their shooting needs and two, 1 pound bags of Snickers in there (hunting essentials).   LOL. 

I hope everyone has a super day with many smiles. 

God Bless and best wishes,   Marc
