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
