I was just looking at that bag.   It is very neat.   I like the tooling.

I love all kinds of bags from the backwoods, bark-tanned, critter bits still attached types, to the ones that represent a saddlemaker's or professional leatherworker's art.  I can see an English gentleman or a landed American colonist carrying this bag while fowling.

Thanks very much guys. You are too kind to my cobbled messes. I liked how that one turned out also.
I am in the process of designing a series of pouches, game bags and other accoutrements related to birding and other sporting type shooting of the 18th century.
Instead of using original existing pouches, which are all but non-existent with any provenance, I have used period paintings that include these items as the source of my interpretation. Of course I have attempted to incorporate design elements and techniques of the few available originals as well. I call the pouch on the blog the "Ridgemont".
I will have a few different designs at the Williamsburg show including this one below that I call the "Duke of Richmond" game bag.
