n March 15, 1759, General Amherst, Commander in Chief of all British Forces in North America during the Seven Years (F&I) War, gave the following order while soliciting men for a campaign: "And every Man, is to be well clothed, and be furnished with a good Firelock, Powder Horn, Shot Bag, and Cover for the Lock of his Gun, with three Pound of Ball fit for his Gun, and a good Blanket".


Wanted to make a one piece cover (cows knee) and fit it to one of the guns. Have alot of leather scraps about and thought this might be one way of lowering the pile... :wink:

Sharp. Good looking design


Nothing beats the feel of a handmade southern iron mounted flintlock on a crisp frosty morning
