Moore Leather UK

Is this company still around? Website appears to be out of date and many pix's removed. Had some very nice items.

If not around who do you recommend for leather work for Enfield collectors?

I dunno, but a couple years ago I was in contact with him about leather caps for an M82 scope for a 1903a4... At some point he just stopped replying, so I moved on after a few attempts. I've heard others have had similar issues.

I'd check Ebay or possibly one of the vendors like Numrich.

Depending on your location, you may find both "craft' leather workers and saddlers / horse hostlers within reasonable reach.

The items you need made are not particularly complicated, but like any specialized product, they require a set of skills and equipment to produce.

In a similar vein: You are unlikely to ask your local carpenter to whittle up a new set of wood for a No4, but someone who makes and restores antique furniture may have just the skills and tools for the job, if your wallet can handle it.

DS-Solutions here in the UK has reproduction carry straps and handles for the No15 chest and some other Enfield leather, not all listed on the website, not his main bread and butter but he gets them made when needed

Thanks for the lead I have e-mailed DS about the strap will wait as to what they say . GunParts has sold out of the straps .

Canvas straps for No.8 scope tins

or you could fit a 1945 dated Pat'44 strap to it. Much easier to use and many members on this forum now use them in preference to the leather ones. I have a handful left if you are interested.

Yes, I've heard the webbing straps were used as a suitable substitute, & they're more practical too.

I have found him to be an excellent communicator, I just wonder if your emails are going into his spam folder and he doesn't check it?

That was my experience as well, though it's some years ago.

Thanks, that is what I suspected as we have communicated without issue in the past.

Ditto Roger and Mick, always found DS absolutely top notch to deal with, great company.

Moore leather, he made me excellent reproduction lens caps for my 1903 A4 build, very happy indeed.

Comms have always been erratic at best however....
