Decoration of 19th century powder flasks varied dramatically with hunting, game animals, foliate, village, military and marine scenes. This quality flask falls into the category of fluted décor featuring deep embossed shell (see page 281 of The powder flask book by Riling). This is an excellent, copper and brass, gun size, black powder flask which is not maker marked. It is deeply embossed with upward rising fluted decoration. The screw top brass charger has measurement adjustment (no grain markings) and spring lever which is fully functioning with a strong action. The flask is 7 ½” length and 3 ¼” diameter at its widest. The copper body has very minor use related dents. There are no cracks, damage or signs of repair. The price for this attractive flask includes UK delivery. 22441:34.
