Cap pouch M1845

Description

The first cap pouch used by the U.S. Army was the M1845. Used by Infantry, riflemen, Dragoons, and Mounted Rifles. This was the common cap pouch until the introduction of the M1850. This cap box was still being issued early in the War along with the M1841 Rifleman's Cartridge Box and others as the need for accoutrements was pressing in both the North and the South.  This item is hand cut, hand dyed and hand sewn as were the originals, from patterns taken from an original.
Having a day job, I can make and sell items a bit cheaper than the BIG BOYS. This is the product of a one man, Veteran operated shop, so there is no Foreign junk here. Most items ship next day USPS. Check prices of similar hand done items check my feedback, then bid with confidence.  "This ain't no museum, this stuff is for sale!"
