Thanks Coffinmaker!
Abilene- I’ve been wondrin that too!
Also, he tried to sell it on consignment at the LGS. Who knows what happened while they had it. All I know is the shop owner said it had been there a while, and he told the guy to come get it, he needed the showcase space.

Nice leather work, Bob. Good choices. Looks very usable.

  With the climate the last year we have received very few donations of door prizes. We are asking for entrants to bring something you don't use but is still serviceable.  thank you.   jt

Just received my new "TEXAS" Hunting Bag from T.C. Albert today!  If any of you are familiar with MUZZLELOADER magazine, you know who T.C. is, as he writes the "Doin' It Yourself" article in each issue.  Tim did a fantastic job of making the bag just the way I wanted it for an 1840's-50's bag.  I supplied the knife (a modified Lamson & Goodnow kitchen knife).  It's pictured with my 1840's Sheffield Bowie.
