Anyone have plans for Calvary Style Saddle Bags?

[DUKE DEADEYE NUKEM]

Anyone have plans for Calvary Style Saddle Bags? I like these because you can load them up with a lot of camping gear.
Do you guys make them out of latigo or Herman Oak?
TIA,
Duke

Deadeye,

Go to David Carrico's site...he has a copy of the Ordnance Manual No. 29...that manual has all the specs for a set of military saddle bags

     Deadeye;

        I have a digital file copy of Ordnance manual 29 if you can't get one, let me know.

        Also the Leather Crafters & Saddlers Journal November/December 1994 has a full size set of plans for Cavalry Saddlebags. They are 1884 and the plans and artical are very good.
     
       You should be able to contact them about a copy

        Ordnance manual 18 has the requirements for the 1874 Saddlebags.   Good Luck!

Although usage since the 6th century has been to refer to the location as a mountain,[1] and as a small hill since 333,[2] the Gospels describe it merely as a place. When the King James Version was written, the translators used an anglicised version - Calvary - of the Latin gloss from the Vulgate (Calvariae), to refer to Golgotha in the Gospel of Luke, rather than translate it; subsequent uses of Calvary stem from this single translation decision. The location itself is mentioned in all four canonical Gospels.

Cavalry (from French cavalerie, cf. cheval 'horse') were soldiers or warriors who fought mounted on horseback. Cavalry were historically the third oldest (after infantry and chariotry) and the most mobile of the combat arms. A soldier in the cavalry is known by a number of designations such as cavalryman or trooper.

Just an FYI.

Thanks, Slim...

The difference between 'Cavalry' and 'Calvary' is easy - just remember:

'If You Ain't Cav...'

The religious connotation doesn't have that observation...

Vaya,
