Your opinion wanted for a case for a Quigley

[Desert Drifter]

I've finished up my case or scabbard for my Quigley gun.  Nothing sewn here, its all hand laced with leather strips.  I'm having a hard making up my mind to put some bead work on it.

I would appreciate hearing your take on it.  Should I put the beaded cross on, or leave it as is?









You comments, suggestions or opinions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Nice  Sharps !

I'm not sure what 'I'd' do,, it looks fine even plain.

Greetings Monsieur Drifter -

You have done a nice job on the rifle sleeve; in keeping with the "look" I *would* add some beadwork, but not the brightly colored cross you currently have - I would suggest more appropriate Northern Plains beadwork, or painted patterns as seen on parfleche - such as Blackfeet, Crow, or Souix patterns.  Do a bit of searching on these forums for ideas, and I will try to post some links a bit later.
