Quigley cartridge belt

[Hedge]

Here's another piece I did. It's a proto-type I made just to see how it would go together. The leather is a bit flanky but it worked

for the purpose.

Myriam got some shots of the belt from the movie, so we could see how it was actually constructed. The ones we saw for sale

on the web weren't made like the original. I think we've got it figured out. But, if you see where we missed something, let me know.

There's no stitiching and the fold over for the buckle is done with billit style lacing. The cartridge loops are woven through slots

in the belt and snugged with latigo lace in the back.

I don't have a .45-110 like Quigley so I scaled this for my .45-70.

Hedge, nice work. The buckle works very nice for that belt... Those loops would fit perfect for my 450 Marlin.

Thanks, Bob.

450 Marlin, eh? Ouch! I download my .45-70 so I can shoot it more than once in a day! :D

Sure thing. Might even be able to sell a couple. Gotta feed my horses somehow.

Thanks, Warren.Myriam really worked hard at screen captures to find every angle and detail she could. Just wish I couldfind the border tool that matches the original.
