That is one neat looking rig. I love pouches. So this gives me an idea- a razor pouch with a brass frame around would be pretty cool I think.
It looks to me though, one would need the piece in hand to make an effective repair. Good luck with it.

Thanks to all for all your help. I sent drawings and measurements to Msblackwolf so that I can get these leather pouches made. Thanks again!

First off, let me say that it is one, fine little razor stand.
Having said that, let's talk about a few technical issues related to the leather pouches on that stand.
First of all, the leather would seem to be of a thicker, firmer cut which was probably wet-formed to take (and hold) the desired shape. It might even have been dipped in molten wax after the forming so that it would be properly waterproof and hold its shape even better (I'm guessing about that last one).
However, even if you succeed in finding the proper weight of leather (no real problem) and the forming it (a bit more difficult, but still fairly easily done), you will then come to the second problem, which will be to properly replace the existing leather pouches.
If you look at the way the leather is mounted, you can see that the edges are held in a formed metal strip. Now if you are lucky, the pouches are made as two sides, sewn together and then just slide down into the formed leather and would be (I assume) easy to pull out and replace. On the other hand if that strip was pressed closed around the leather pouch to retain it (and it might be so), then it might be a bit trickier to prise that metal edging open (without damaging the metal) so that you can remove and replace the worn out pouches that are currently there.
Obviously, this is a bit of speculation, since I only have the one image to go by and cannot see all the close-up details.

Ignats,
I lucked out and the leather just slides down the rails and is held in place in by small pins on either side. Im just gonna get some ones made and give them a try. I sent MsBlackwolf all of the drawings with measurements and pictures of the originals so will see what she can cook up!
