Arrived today, and reassuringly heavy in the hand, with lots of work on it. The decoration looks like repousse rather than applied and sweated as is so often done later. Mainly brass with a white metal outer face I doubt the cord belongs, but it does have an integral loop at one end, so might be a partial original hanger for something local. Vendors pics, with three of mine taken today. It's an accidental find, I was pricing stuff up on fleabay and there it was as a BIN at a price I could not refuse.

How do you get an accurate measure of powder, is there an accessory measure or would it have been a cap which I assume once covered the flask opening?

Afaik, it could be either, sometimes (rarely?) made from a large calibre cartridge case. I do have one North African flask with the remains of a cut off and measure, taken or copied from a western flask, but it's the only one I have seen.

Hi David,
I think your "new" flask is Algerian. Stu |
