Bukra65 Report post Posted December 17, 2021 (edited) Hello All, I recently finished this reproduction of an 18th century British cartridge pouch, circa 1750s. There are supposedly two originals but noone seems to have an image of them. Period paintings and written accounts are all I had to go on. I ended up trimming the interior flap a bit more. 65842147393__43BD4BB7-3D03-4C21-8293-269329E32E8C.HEIC The strap is a heavy suede and is a placeholder until I can get my hands on some real Buff Leather. Thanks for looking! Edited January 28, 2022 by Northmount Converted HEIC picture file to JPG and uploaded Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fredk Report post Posted December 17, 2021 (edited) No pictures I think there are more than just two originals surviving. I can think of three museums which have 18th C military equipment, including cartridge pouches Edited December 17, 2021 by fredk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can think of three museums which have 18th C military equipment, including cartridge pouches I appreciate the input, but to be honest until I see verification of this, such as a provenanced image, this just adds to the unsubstantiated rumors that circulates about these. There are plenty of examples of post 1768 Warrant pouches/blocks and I suspect you may be confusing the two. By all means, however, if you can provide an image or solid lead I would GREATLY appreciate it.

Still no picture and still not sure if you are looking for or showing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you could tell me how to better offer a differing opinion than yours without offending you I'll be more than happy to rephrase it. Also, I have tried 3 times to post a photo and have no idea why it is not posting. So, my lack of image was also not meant to offend anyone here either. I will try one more time after this post. Thank you again to those that took the time to reply, there just isn't much out there on this niche historical leather item. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The photo that you've tried to post is in .HIEC format, but must be in .jpg format to display on this site. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They did upload, but for members to be able to see the pics, your picture file must be JPG or JPEG (both are the same) format. You can choose on your device as to what you are saving and posting. I have converted the file and uploaded it to a couple of your posts above. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
