These
are original hunting pouches of a 100 year
span in history, auctioned at several of the
Eastern Auction Houses dealing in antique
firearms and accessories. Time frames as well
as estimated value and realized selling prices
are shown. The interesting part is the sizes
and shapes really don’t change as much as
one would think in a century time period.
_______________________________________________________________
A
problem found with any of these pouches, bags
or whatever they are called from the different
regions is. The information in most part is
5th hand or earlier. As we all know from
personal experience, the more times they story
is told it changes in character. We have found
that some authors claiming documented records
for their books on a subject got their
information from someone that heard that
information from another and so on - that's
not documented proof - "that's hear
say".
You have
to use common sense when doing your research
not just one or two sources, that's how bad
information gets worst.
Go to
the sources that have good solid information;
museums (not all of them are correct either -
remember the family that donated the article
had a story too), historical sites with
museums, private collections and like shown
antique auction houses. Always work all the
angles in your research and you'll gather more
information on all your items not just in this
case hunting pouches. Good Luck, and enjoy
yourself quest.
