"Dr. Bob- Think like a "buggy driving " Dr. of the time you want. Doc's being smarter then most people of their time, might have a cartridge belt for their SASA, find it uncomfortable riding against the back of the buggy seat, and would unlace, or cut off the loops! A belt with unlaced loops, or "no" loops might look cool, invoke questions that you have an immediate responce for. Just a thought. RR"
Why go to All that trouble?
Talk about reinventing the wheel.
All he'd have to do is use an Olde Style Percussion Pistole Belt instead that he mentioned previously, & use the Cap Pouch as a Pistole Cartridge Box &/or use his Weskit Pockets.
Not everyone changed as rapedly w/ the times using the lastest new fangled thing came around, as there were still thousands of individuals that were Still using Percussion Type firearms after the turn of the 20th Century.
By-the-by, I have this book as well, "Doctors of the Old West by Robert F. Karolevitz", great research material. I almost lucked out, but missed out on acquiring the Medical Saddle Bags that are shown in this book, as it would have been a great addition to my meager Horse Furnature Collection.
