All smooth out leather items (black and russet) are finished with period stains or dyes, using period dyeing and finishing techniques. This has all come out of my extensive research on the 19th century tanning industry. The leather also has built in mold and mildew resistance, in these period finishes.
To see more pictures how they dyed leather during the 19th century.

With Sling (Black Only)
This is a copy of the 1859 Enfield box that was designed to hold 50 rounds.
This box and sling are produced from original in our collection. This box has a white buff closer tab, and a single tin with 5 compartments. The sling for this box is black, 2" wide 64" long and with embossed lines along the edges. There is evidence that the leather sling were pulled by the Confederate Government in order to us this long and valuable piece of leather for other items that would have been more important. Several examples have been found with linen or cloth slings instead for the leather that was sent from England. We are now offering the substitution of a linen sling instead of the leather this may be either enameled (tarred) or natural. If you decide please state when ordering which sling you would prefer. The price is still the same no matter which sling you choose.

This scabbard is for the British Pattern 1853 Rifled Musket.
This style scabbard was used heavily by the confederates. The Federal use of this scabbard is very limited, such as the 44th Mass, which was issued equipment from a captured blockade runner.

Crown soap- 4oz of soap in a tin container $6.95
We are now offering this period soap for cleaning leather. This is based off a period recipe for soap liked by harness makers. This is not like modern saddle soaps but instead is mostly made from cod oil. This type of soap will clean the leather but not be harsh enough to damage the leather. Leather items should be cleaned with soap several times a year in order to prevent the build up of dirt and other things that will damage the grain surface.
