CSA bugler they would be greatly appreciated!!! I am always looking to make something out of the ordinary!!! If you decide to put them by the wayside, I would be willing to purchase them from you at a reasonable price!!!

Ken,

Re: Painted Cloth Saddle Bags

I'm curious, what sorts of things are you carrying in these saddlebags? Doing Federal, riding a `59 Mac with saddle bags, the only things I can fit in mine is a set of spare shoes and nails, brush and curry comb. These could very easily be rolled into the bedroll or placed in a nose bag looped over the pommel or a feedbag tied to the pommel.

I understand! I wish the 20th century didn't get in the way of my 19th century life!

Dave,
I'm a bugler. there's about 102 combined calls, I don't memorize all of them, so I have a period style book about 5'" x 8". That goes in the bags. usually feed will fill one side if we are not in a static camp that allows stashing. House wife, small fry pan, curry comb. Required modern medication. Maybe a small hand towel. Those items are things i might want without rolling out my bedroll. That pretty much fills them up.
