This is fascianting stuff to me, thanks for posting, Ed, and all the comments, folks....
per Grenadier, then, is the repro the correct size?
I would say the the WPG bag is close enough for what we do. I plan on distressing it eventually. I wish Captain Horton's haversack could talk.
My Dear Ed, however do you intend to distress it? speak harshly to it, perhaps question it's parentage?
actually, am really interested in how to age fabric & etc without detroying it. all my stuff is "too new" and unlike Del I just don;t have much opportunity to age it by honest wear....
I don't want my stuff to look antique, just used.
Currently stripping and rust bluing a revolver so I can get it where I want.... not "new" but not "antiqued". I feel that
rust bluing gives more more latitude that way.... but I don't gave a clue about cloth & leather....
