Powder Horn, Regiment ID?

Hi all:

I think it's a powder flask from the time of the American Revolution, and correspond to the Royal Regiment 60 (60 Royal American Regiment). The núimero 60 separated by a slash and the number under 12 is present in numerous shields (escutcheon) of British weapons (Brown Bess, Baker, etc). Thus, for example, GR and below the number 36, indicating the number of riot police and soldiers.

The letters TH correspondrían the soldier's name, and are printed very slightly. The letter P I can not imagine what corresponds.

It's just an opinion.

Affectionately. Fernando
