Nice bag, Grunt, has a real traditional look to it. Sweet looking horn, too. I seem to remember a version of your verse on an original Rev War powderhorn somewhere.
The armed man is a citizen, the unarmed a subject.

I researched the bag in The Kentucky Rifle Hunting Pouch by Madison Grant. I met Madison at Friendship Indiana back in the 80's and bought a signed copy directly from him. Got his The Knife In Homespun America also. If I load the hand cannon with 55 grains of 2F, nine .32 cal buck and a patched .615 ball it will just about erase anything within 20 feet. If I miss I can grab the gun by it's barrel and use it as a club. It is steel, brass and ebony. Could always escape in the cloud of smoke if needed.

Hmmm, makes me wonder if you subscribe to "On The Trail" ? Getting to be a lot of us Historical Trekkers making primitive archery and reading the pages of Primitive Archer. Lot of overlapped interests.

Never heard of "On the Trail" I'll google it up and see what is is about. Thanks for the heads up about it. I've been a student of American history for a long time. I was a member of the AMM years ago #951.

On the Trail is a great magazine. I met the editor and owner last year at the Alafia River Rendevous, nice guy.
