Rube Burrows Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Could't find that I ever posted this here but this is a write up I did. Its a Pooler & Jones style shotgun belt from the 1800s. The famous John Slaughter photo of him with his 1887 Shotgun wearing a similar belt is what made me want to restore this one.

Yul Lose Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 There was a pard here on the Wire a couple of years ago that built one very similar to this, I can’t remember his alias. I believe he was from North Carolina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yul Lose Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Lunger Dan posted pictures of the one that he built awhile back. Looked a lot like this one and he did an excellent job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the entire loop may be made of metal. SHB p.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rube Burrows Posted August 26, 2022 Author Share Posted August 26, 2022 Thanks everyone. It was a fun project and I’m happy to give the old shotgun belt some new life. Haven’t used it in sass yet but have used it on a couple hunts. 1 hour ago, Yul Lose said: Lunger Dan posted pictures of the one that he built awhile back.

They are pretty neat. Many of them I have seen have canvas belts but some do have the leather belts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howlin Mad Murdock SASS #4037 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 have an original belt. And my Pard Castalia made a bunch of steel holders many years ago, and I mounted them on a belt. Look close in this picture and you can see them. I cold blued them to prevent corrosion.
