    Default leather sheath for shotgun cartridges

    i was commisioned by our very own british red, to make a leather case for him to house some of his cartridges, he wanted something that he could pop in his pocket, and to have a way of attaching it to his belt if needed but not with a big loop on the back, so i made him this.
    i hope you like it

    Nice. Is this for roving about with the .410?

    Exactly that - just a few cartridges for the odd rat or problem pigeon

    This is far better in life than it looks!

    A great, multipurpose holder for me to gather "one for the pot" without getting manky cartridges from rattling around in my pocket. I suspect most of the time, it'll live slipped into a pocket, but it can also live on my belt when we go ratting.

    Lee asked me for lots of detail and I sent photos of my ideal (a stalkers pocket case for cartridges). He then adapted it to my needs and cartridge choice. Options of initials, colour leather fastening etc. were all asked for.

    The price? Less than a manky piece of imported plastic cr**

    I really don't know why Lee doesn't make a dozen in various calibres and sell them to gun shops - this was a bargain - custom made, superb fit & finish, fast turn round, bargain price.

    There are five Eley Fourlongs in it now - tomorrow I hunting pesky.....pigeons

    fantastic i'm so happy you like it mate, it really is hard to try and get what your stuff is like in a pic, i try me best, but to see the stuff close up, you can then really see the fit and finish.
    take care.

    Hmmm, so tempting! A seriously outstanding piece of work.
