Powder Flasks

Hi again Paul. I have spent an interesting evening trolling through the "Caps & Flints" magazines - produced by the "Antique & Historic Arms Collectors Guild, Victoria" because there were quite a few flasks featured over the years & any Australiana flask would be a good candidate for an article. In Volume 1, issue 4 (1967) I found a short article on powder flasks in general that depicts 3 such horns. 1 x Lyrebird (same as yours) nickel plated, 2 x Kangaroo (same as yours) 1 copper, 1 nickel plated. This is from so long ago I wonder is one of the horns depicted has ended up in your hands? If you do not have this edition let me know & I'll see what I can do about reproducing the article for you. The info is very sparse & the photo is quite poor. Regards, Adrian Roads
