CS CAP POUCH -SINGLE LOOP

CS Cap Pouch

This Cap Pouch is a nice example of a CS cap pouch.  The Confederates started following the US patterns for their accrouments.  With time, modifications were made due to material shortages and speeding production.  A single wide waist belt loop is an indication of southern production.  

This example is a solid example of a southern product.  The leather is solid and the seams are tight.  The integral lacth tab is complete. The leather finish is strong.  The finial is brass.  The shape is different from the federal finial.  The finial has a square piece of tin as a rivet.  This is another indication of southern manufacture.
