The other flask , nothing special and haven't a clue where from or in fact how I even got it but I like it.

Hi again Tony.
Hey !! Great job making that threaded end piece !!! Looks much better now. Excellent. I'll re-post if I get the screw out of mine.
Seems like we both think alike. LOL Here is a Persian style priming flask that I picked up at the Baltimore Show about three years ago. It was missing it's end screw. So my gunsmith made me a new screw utilizing an original top jaw screw from a 3rd Model British Brown Bess musket (That was broken and messed up). Turned out nice. And the flask is 100% usable.
Again, great job with the screw/vent pick idea.
Rick.

Hi, Interesting to see your tool, heres a similar one I found still attached to its powder flask rig.

I'd always thought mine is more North African from the style of the flask, but I guess these were widely spread in useage.

Do any of you collect Indian/Afghan bullet molds ?, I've been trying without any success to try and find a source to ID the various regional variations.
