MY Buffalo Gun Cartridge Belt

[WaddWatsonEllis]

Hi Y'all,

I have the loops on my new cartridge belt about a third done and I thought I would put a pic on here ...

First, since we are talking the 1870s I decided to use a canvas loop like a 'Fair Weather Christian' belt ...

Then, since I was using a canvas product, I picked out a 2inch wide cotton/polypro combination that looks like canvas but lasts much longer ...

I also added a 'courier bag' from October Country to carry all those anachronisms we have grown so fond of ... ballistic cloth wallet, cell phone, etc.

I got my inspiration from one of Duke Nukem's pics:



Here is my version (about a quarter done):



BTW, the black rectangle on this blurry pic is my wallet (to give it a little scale).

When I get the belt done, I plan to add this butcher knife (with 11 1/2 inch blade) on the right and a smaller butcher (5 3/4inch blade) on the left before or after the 'courier bag'

Seems like a good design. Looking forward to the finished pics.

Marshall,

The project will probably be finished just in time to go under the Christmas Tree ... *S* ... each loop takes me about 1 hour and a days interest ...

I had hoped that this might generate some creative ideas that I could add into this ... but so far the Marshall is the only one to add a comment ...

But to return to the reply, I will definitely send a better pic in when I get all the loops and sheaths done ....

The photo you provided of that finished one doesn't look like it could be improved on. That's probably why you don't have more answers to that.

I agree with the Marshall's assessment, any more just might start taking away!  It is all ready a winner so why keep seeking?  I will give it a two thumbs up.
