Early 19th Century German Wood and Copper Black Powder Flask. 22490:6. Early 19th Century German Wood and Copper Black Powder Flask. 22490:6. Other Accessory

The flask in some form or other began with the first use of gunpowder as a propellant. This is a (thought to be) German wooden powder flask with copper inlays and pourer. The copper inlays are etched with a coat of arms *see images*. The outer edge has steel hangers and protective studs around the wood. The filling lever twists and turns as it should. See page 238 of Rilings ‘The Powder Flask Book for reference’. Measurements: 10 ¾ cm across. This flask warrants further investigation. The price includes UK delivery. 22490:6.
