Show us your Powder flask
I noticed very few threads about powder flasks and bullet containers.
Do you have some nice Ottoman / Persian stuff to share?

As this subject and the items that will be discussed here are more weapons related and not actually weapons themselves I am moving this thread to the Ethnographic Miscellania forum.
Best, Robert |

Dear Stelio & Rajesh,
Thanks, they are great stuff. I will post tonight a palaska, a Moroccan primer flask and a Mughal powder flask. Rajesh, I think your first one is Moroccan (I'm sure in fact). Best, Kubur |

You have a coin dated from 1336/ 1917 on it.
So the powder flask should be from 1917 or a little bit later. |

This is a 19th century Ottoman powder flask that I own. Its missing the top piece and there are som loss to the decoration. Despite the faults I really like this flask, someone put a lot of work and effort into making it.

I spotted a couple of interesting powder flasks; Two nice Central Asian flasks(Barutdan) with exotic surface style ...one with a birdshead and eye of Turquoise...I show two moon shaped (Talahiq) of Oman...and one interesting Gourd design(Barutluk) with Turkoman style decoration. The black barutdan with studs is Persian

The gourd I think now we all agree is in fact a Tobacco/Snuff flask, rather than for priming powder, though it could well do both jobs. See this link http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=21994 Here are two more also included here for library purposes. Stu |

Has looks similar to decorations on Yemeni Jambiya scabbards. Not likely to be a powder flask as neck is too wide. Maybe a lime container?? Perhaps if no replies eventuate here it could be worth posting as a serapate thread.

I have two large Moroccan powder flasks in my collection. One is covered in scrimshawed camel bone and has engraved silver escutcheons containing coral and turquoise stones. The fill spout is camel bone. The second powder flask is covered in engraved silver with flower shaped escutcheons containing coral stones. The entire surface also contains silver rivets, and the fill spout is also camel bone. The workmanship on both flasks is very fine. Can you fellow collectors give me your opinions/any info on these flasks? Thank you!
