Ranger Limber Jack

This is my hand made Limber Jack made in the dress of a early ranger. He was made for me by a gentleman named Joe Lee a very long time a go. He put a lot of detail in the different ones that he made. Joe also did some of the illustrations for some of the early sketch books.
The grandkids have played with him over the years. It’s sad that I have no rhythm and so my ranger can’t keep a beat either, but in someone else’s hand he can dance a jig.

Customer Order

The items where sent to me so I could make up the knife sheath, cover the canteen & add a strap, and make up the carriage for the ax.
