Verner Patchbox
« on: September 20, 2010, 03:52:38 PM »
  Has anyone ever seen a patchbox like a Verner, but made of wood instead of Brass?

    Just curious

What, you mean like a sliding wood lid with a brass surround?  Not on an old gun, but I have seen several modern gunmakers do it.  It DOES look neat, but is definitely not historical on an American rifle.   ;)
