Hi guys
Do any of you have such powder flask in the collection? It is interesting to see their varieties. |

You are talking about the powder flask that is published in the book in the book Arms of the Paladins : The Richard R. Wagner Jr. Collection of Fine Eastern Weapons? Dima |

Interesting that Jonathan Barrett, a well-known expert in Oriental arms ( I still remember his invited lecture on Indian sword hilts in Timonium) defines both his examples as Indian, not Afghani. Strangely, I could not find anything similar in Oliver’s book.
Where would you place yours? Last edited by ariel; 31st August 2018 at 03:54 PM. |

I'd be vague and say Northern India/Afghan, as I assume its more a tribal design ?
