This is a very nice service-worn example of an early American-Made Militia rifleman’s bag with a small period correct powder horn and two shot pouches. The leather of the bag shows heavy period repairing with a large repaired patch to one side with repairing to the seams in several places, although the carrying strap has unfortunately broken in half. The shot pouches are nice but both are missing their plugs. The powder horn is small with a large break in the horn near the bottom, but interestingly on this example, the wooden plug is intact and stuck in the throat!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rifleman’s bag is of the correct period construction with pockets on both sides. The pocket on one side has torn open to the side with evidence of past repairs. The other side has an intact flap which shows heavy tattering. The leather strap is in good shape minus the break and there is stitching evidence of what was likely a patch knife sheath on the strap. The leather is actually pliable in spots but as it’s incredibly old we wouldn’t recommend testing that too much. There are some extra worn straps that appear to be of the period but don’t fit with any piece in the group. We have left them as is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe powder horn is a very small example, 5½” in length with a break at the base and around the throat, but as mentioned, the wooden plug on this example is stuck in the throat, and therefore 100% original to the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shot pouches are of good leather construction, one being 5” long and having a small internal metal throat, while the other is 4” long and has a larger carved bone throat with bits of wire wrapped around the throat underneath it. Both are missing their plugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a lovely but very worn set that requires some love and care. A great Revolutionary War era rifleman’s set, ready for further research and display.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42644140064837,"sku":"ONJR25JAPF086","price":395.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/files\/ONJR25JAPF086__01.jpg?v=1744218527","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-u-s-american-revolutionary-war-era-rifleman-s-bag-set-with-small-powder-horn-two-shot-pouches","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
