Had the idea for something similar to this for a couple years now but webbing in less than 1000+ yard quantities has proven a challenge to find, until a fellow LW.net member was able to aid me. There was a turn of the century belt designed with canvas loops on a leather belt mainly for rifle cartridges - but the case still on leather did not prevent verdigris from happening over time.

This one is a base of 10 oz english bridle veg tan I'd had around the shop for quite some time from a W&C overstock sale way back. It comes tannery stuffed with hot waxes and requires no final finish with a very beautiful red color.

Made this one for my 32 H&R collection. It's a fairly rough prototype on all accounts but they are usable for me to beat around on. Holds 42 rounds of the little 32's and is comfortable as can be with either but especially my Vaquerito riding around.

That is beautiful work! It's a good example of the Mills Pattern cartridge belt made for the cavalry in the late 1800s. There are a number of history buffs who should be interested in such a belt.

At my age I find that I can live without sex..........but not without my glasses.

Being old has an advantage.......nobody expects me to do anything in a hurry.
