Carbine case help!
 

I am building several leather carbine cases for a client. 1902-1920. One is pictured in International Lugers.

I am trying to find out what material these may have been lined with. I am certain these cases had a lining of some sort but it is a mystery to me what it may have been in the original cases.

I suspect, felt, canvass or perhaps a close cropped shereling wool.

If any of you members have an original case and care to educate an old holstermaker I would appreciate it.

Thanks, Jerry Burney

Jerry,

The carbine cases I have had were lined with close clipped shearling.

Your Airborne Pal,
