Question on Trapezoid Powder Flasks

Yancey von Yeast · 15th September 2012, 03:07 AM

Hello,

I am new to the forum and thoroughly enjoying every second that I can spend reading and learning. My sincerest thanks to everyone in this wonderful community.

Here is a question. Does anyone have any ideas on how the iron mounts on the late 16th century powder flasks was originally finished? Bright? Painted? Japanned?

Also, if it is possible, what was the average height of the trapezoid musket flasks? I have never had the priviledge of handling or seeing an original in person. I do so enjoy all of the photos on the site.

Thanks so much!
