Hi Corrado.

That bone flask looks like it was made for hunting. Maybe Bavarian or Dutch?
It certainly is nice looking. This would be a good one for Matchlock to comment on if he were still with us. My guess is 18th Century - or earlier. It's in great condition. Wish I could offer more help.

By the way, that is a magnificent looking Wheellock Dag and Flsk !!!!

This Thread has produced a large quantity of wonderful looking Ethno flasks. Thanks to all that participated.
Here are two Indian flasks that I posted seperately a couple months ago. I'll re-post here just for this Thread......

A very nice Barudan wrapped in tooled leather in wonderful condition. And a smaller, painted wooden flask in the shape of a fish, probably from South India.

Here is a powder flask, described as Moroccan in Stone. Unfortunately, it is not pictured among the flasks in Buttin's plate about Morocco and North Africa. I do not have reasons to doubt Stone's attribution, but then again, I have also never seen a picture or a drawing confirming it.
