Jeff Luke sent us several photos of his latest pouch, a donation to the NMLRA Gunmaker’s Hall ADA Longrifle Set Auction. Read about Jeff’s fine contribution below.

My contribution to the ADA project is a Virginia style, divided shot pouch. I started with a gorgeous bark tan deer hide from Larry Callahan. The pouch is roughly 8"×8.5" and has a small pocket stitched onto the divider, which also serves a the welt for the side seams. The 1" strap was cut from 5-6oz vegetable tan cowhide, has an edge groove treatment and is adjustable by means of a brass button on the rear of the pouch body. The flap has a folk art hex symbol and edge detail burned in, a slight Pennsylvania twist on the simplistic Virginia pouch design, common in the region at the time.

Jeff Luke has contributed his lovely work to the NMLRA for several years now, we can’t thank him enough for his effort and support.
