Hunting accessories were popular in the 1800s. This black powder flask falls into the hunting category of flasks (see page 255 of The powder flask book by Riling for a similar example). This is an excellent, pewter and brass, gun size, black powder flask which is deeply embossed with hunting decoration to both sides consisting of panels featuring hunting Dogs and Deer in the field. The brass charger has no measurement adjustment and spring lever which is fully functioning with a strong action. The nozzle unscrews. The flask is 7 ¼” length and the pewter body is just under 3 ½” at its widest. The pewter has even aged patina. The price for this attractive flask includes UK delivery.
