Inside a cap pouch and a bullet pouch looks like...??

[Tallbald]

Some here may know I've crafted in leather for several years. . It's a labor of true love and enthusiasm. I work to honor old styles as much as I can using a modern leather sewing machine and hardware now available to me. Flap holsters, gun belts, belt pouches, things of that nature. I'm also a BP shooter but only at the range. Ruger Old Army, Pietta 1858 Remington, CVA Optima V2 pistol and my teeny little NAA Super Companion. I love making holsters for these pieces of art in steel, and have sold many holsters and gun belts to other enthusiasts.
Accessories I've never made though, because I'm a range shooter only, are belt cap pouches and belt carried bullet pouches. I have a few reference books and of course access to the web to research true Civil War era pouches, but so far none I've found show clearly the insides of either style pouch. I'm thinking the bullet pouches have a second interior flap(?). I've wondered if either pouch has a divider for organization or not.
If anyone could refer me to a site with photos of true antique cap pouch and bullet pouch interiors I would be grateful and could closely adhere to the original ways.
Thank you so much. Don Sterchi

The inside of the cap pouches has some fur in there. I think it's to help you grab a cap.

. I made one for myself, but have no idea what it's supposed to look like.

As a onetime Civil War reenactor, I can tell you that the cap pouch has strips of lamb's wool around the top on the inside, to keep the loose caps from falling out, while allowing you to reach in and get them as needed. (This is in addition to a second, inner, flap.)

There were no "bullet pouches," per se, issued during the Civil War. Ammunition was issued in paper cartridges, which were carried in standard cartridge pouches. The regulation infantry cartridge pouch held 40 rounds, in two metal "tins," or trays, inside. Each tin had an upper and lower compartment, that each contained 10 rounds. When the upper compartments were emptied, the tins could be raised to expose the lower, reserve supply.

Bullet pouches, in combination with powder flasks, were last issued to riflemen in the 1830's, prior to the advent of the M1841 "Mississippi" rifle and the Mexican War. Those early riflemen were expected to be able to load their rifles with loose powder and ball if they didn't have access to cartridges. But by the time of the Mexican War, at least, riflemen exclusively used cartridges. Regular line infantry always used cartridges, going well back into the 18th century.

Of course civilians carried their ammo any way they liked.

The standard officers pistol pouch was open inside to take several six-packs of revolver cartridges:

I REALLY like the Navy revolver pouches with room for six cartridges and two extra cartridge six-packs:

I thank each and every one of you for taking the time to respond and teach me. I've spent a lot of time looking and right here are some answers. Thank you all again. Don
