Scabbard and Baldric for Hanger Sword

This is my first try at making a center-seam scabbard and baldric for a hanger sword. The sword was made by Keith Gibson, who also made the throat and drag for the scabbard.

Haversack #1

Haversack made from brown fustian treated with wax, lined with a tan-striped pillow ticking.  The leather trim is pigskin, and the strap is cowhide with a brass buckle. The "Join, or Die" design is attributed to Ben Franklin and was added at the direction of the customer.

Kidney shaped pouch

This kidney shaped pouch measures 9.5" wide by 8" tall. It has a hanging inside pocket and a small exterior pocket on the rear. The flap is lined with pillow ticking on the inside and the outside is decorated with a pair of rosettes. There is an iron buckle, a brass button for the front and a small antique bone button for the little back pocket.  It is made from cowhide and stained with vinegar/rust.

Early pouch

This is my interpretation of a pouch with characteristics that would be considered by most to be pre-19th century.  It has an internal divider that serves as a welt, and a brass buckle.  The pouch was stained with vinegar and rust.
