KrisR inspired me to dress up my Trapper. It is a tribute to our daughter we lost in April. Her middle name is Grace. Except for the lettering the rest of the tooling was done with a 3030 case. The lace holes are in the middle of a head stamp and the dotted line on the ends are the lip of the case. The rounds are ones I cast and loaded. This is my first leather project.

Wow that's beautiful leather! And a real nice memory.
That's a nice little tribute. A nice trapper in 30-30 too!
If you're gonna shoot shoot, don't talk.

Now I lay me down to sleep
A gun beside me is what I keep
If I awake, and you're inside
The coroner's van is your next ride
Thank you all. The calf hide feels good on my cheek. I am trying to figure out what to do next. The trapper shoots like a dream. I have recently worked up a load with 150 gr lee mold with unique for a close in woods gun. Pretty much anybody in my family could shoot it for a 50 yd deer round.
