I have a several dozen flasks, many by Hawksley, but have never seen one marked on the operating arm. They are normally marked on the pouring spout tube?

 

[nhmoose]

My other Hawksley are marked on the tube also but they are all just 2 weight adj not the 3 as this is. Other than that no idea. Shall I add rare then?

 

[Mark Herman]

Have no idea if it is rare or if someone stamped an unmarked flask. Hope it's rare.

Gee it's priced about the same as a modern reproduction which it ain't. TOW gets $62.95 for a repro English head only https://www.trackofthewolf.com/Categories/PartDetail.aspx/100/1/FLASK-ENG-CH
Fake a flask I don't think so. The stamping looks the same as used by Hawksley in fact the stamping appears below what patina is on the metal.

Priced fair for a sale I think
