THIS IS AN EARLY CIVIL WAR SIGNED ARTILLERY GUNNERS POUCH IN ORIGINAL AS FOUND UNTOUCHED CONDITION. THE LEATHER IS DRY, WORN, AND THE CLOSURE STRAP IS LONG GONE FROM BATTLE USE. IT IS SIGNED IN THE ORIGINAL PAINT 1ST SEP. CO ON THE OUTSIDE FLAP. THESE WOULD BE CARRIED BY ARTILLERY ON THEIR BELT DURING THE WAR AND FEW HAVE SURVIVED. THIS IS A NICE EXAMPLE OF AN ORIGINAL AUTHENTIC GUNNERS POUCH FROM THE CIVIL WAR. IT LOOKS SOUTHERN MADE, BUT COULD BE UNION OR CONFEDERATE. MEASURES: 9″ X 7.5″.
