Powder Flask Collector
40 Cal
Hello friends of well smelling smoke.
I would like to present my latest aquisition.
Yes: it's a powder flask again. Not in brand new condition, but with the signs of long use and a good example of how people used to repair things instead of throwing them away.
The sheet brass flask body is intact and the soldering seams are closed. But the flask head was replaced many years ago by a simple head made of sheet metal (steel or sheet iron). And it doesn't look like the work of an expert. Somehow botched!
The flask body has typical french style features. Parforce hunting horn, hunting bag, powder flask, a dead bird, head of a wild boar, pig spears and large hunting knives.
Shown in the Riling under number 599. In the Marquiset, similar powder flasks can be seen under "sujet compose".

I think they are just COOL.
