I should also have added that the cap is missing from yours, but apart from that it looks GREAT. I am in awe of this one, as the one I have is of much more recent manufacture, and is not as refined in the finish.....pic herewith.

Hello Stu,

thank you again, yes, yours is indeed very similar. That the cap is missing was clear.

Hi Sajen.
While your flask has similarities with the Turkish/Ottoman and Moroccan beehive flasks, I agree with Stu this is more likely from Oman. It has that dark, extra high quality you see on many Omani accessories. Beautiful looking flask.

Hi ARTZI,
Yes..... Identified as such in Elgood's Arms and Armour of Arabia, and also by Ibrahiim in his many posts to the Forum. Also shown here http://www.omanisilver.com/ under heading Matchlock Guns.
