Pouch #71 - Calf hair
This pouch is made from cowhide, hair-on calf hide and pigskin. The strap was woven by Kris Polizzi and is adjusted by a forged steel buckle. The single-banded powder horn was made by Mark Ewing and was based on an original from Virginia. The powder measure was also made by Mark Ewing. The dagger was made by Joe Scott. I made the accoutrement chain from hardened brass wire.
