A powder flask ... incomplete

Well Fernando, based on the garb of the hunter only, I would say early 19th c for date. I would suspect that it could be found in Riling's Powder Flask book. Sadly I do not have a copy of this.
Re the spout. I feel sure that you could find one easily as there are often top and spout assemblies in auctions.....certainly here in NZ. The only challenge MIGHT be to find one of the right size to fit.
