They look great.  When I make a bag, I have to put all kinds of pockets in them, so that I can separate the many things I carry.  Have you made internal pockets?  I like to have a separate bag and horn for each gun.  It keeps me busy making bags and horns.
The colour and finish is superlative.

Those are two really nice bags, excellent workmanship!  I partiularly like the looks of the top one.   What weight leather are you using?  If that is iron hardware, where do you find it?

Dennis..thanks for the additional photos...much appreciated.  I have ventured once into the bag making process and although I liked the result I made mistakes.  Looking at various ideas for another project and also purchased several reference books.  working on a bag/horn/accouterment project.

thank you again for additional photos.

regards - John D.

Well done indeed!  Those are exceptionally nice, both in layout and execution.  I'd be proud to carry either of them, and that's a fact!
