Offered by Peter Finer in 2009:
- Nuremberg, ca. 1550, one of the lower iron mounts including a spring-loaded ball reservoir for approximately three balls (very rare). - Nuremberg, 1570's, engraved with a motif well-known from what has been posted here. Best, Michael |

Rick,
In this zoom you can see that belt hooks were normally attached by a transverse screw thru the top mount and a threaded pin beneath screwed in the horn for stabilization.  Best, Michael |

An astonishingly fine staghorn body of such a flask, ca. 1580, profusely carved with Renaissance decoration, all iron mounts missing; sold by Bonhams, London, a few days ago.
Best, m |
