Unusual Powder Flask

[Cowboy]

I was on Ebay a while back ago and this flask caught my eye. I put a bid on it and actually won it. My questions would be: Was this a pretty common one back in 1980? Also do you think there is alot of these out there and do you think that maybe these were a souvenir of some sorts. Any information you could give me would be of course greatly appreciated. Respectfully, cowboys1062

Have had several like that (back in the seventies) but w/o the logo imprint. Function and practical. One kept corn meal one powder (were dedicated to my revolver)

Very striking. It seems to be in excellent shape.

Obviously a souvenier from the 1980 IML championships. Neat item for a collection. It looks serial numbered. You might be able to track down some history on it.

Yeah, could have been a Prize or participation award too, :idunno:
Ain't a serial number, it's the score rings for the target 6-10.

I checked for a serial number on it but didn't find one unless like you said, maybe it is the score ring :idunno: The spout on it says made in Italy, 30gn. That is all I know about it. Have to do a little research and see what I can come up with. It is a nice made little flask though. I wont be taking this one out to the range. I have a few others for that.

Yes. You have enough information to begin a search. Write to the IMLA and ask what it might have been used for in the 1980 championships.
