This old guy came to me through eScrew about ten years ago.
I think it's German, French or possibly Spanish. It came from a seller in Utah, but it's old enough that it had to be brought there much later. Some of the old postings mentioned similar flasks, but I can't find the exact one. Any comments or suggestions are most welcome! |

Hi,
This is characteristic of Spain, first half to mid -18th century. I will search for similar samples and post them. For predecessors of this type of calivermen's flasks typical of the Germanic areas from ca. 1570-1650, please see my thread: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...man%27s+flasks Best, Michael Last edited by Matchlock; 31st August 2014 at 12:23 PM. |

Hi all;
Without being an expert, I think the mechanical construction, especially the tube and the method of regulating the powder, with its small screw, represent a closer building, 19th century Same for decoration in shell hook to port . For me it is a hunting horn. Affectionately. Fernando K (sorry for the translation) |

You might also post the text in your language; i think a little correction to the english translation would be important, in this case. Saludos Fernando |
