A generously sized square bottomed shot bag for a Virginia rifleman. Two rolled edge interior pockets. Deckled welt and flap. Stitched in black linen. Die forged buckle.

That bag looks familiar.  I believe I had one quite similar from a previous life …

This bag is a fine example of why something doesn't have to be elaborate to be beautiful. 

That is some great craftmanship.  All the details add to an attractive whole. 

I like the surface treatment you achieved and the deep, rich color. 

Somebody is going to be very happy for Christmas. 

God Bless, and best wishes,   Marc

Not fancy but quality still shows through.
Very nice,
