ottoman grease carrying case photos
My opinion from a little bronze boxes is a ottoman crease carrying cases and the other is a powder measure.

A type reputedly based on a camel scrotum. Whether or not the origin is apocryphal , it does lend itself to easier refill, and has a larger capacity than many other designs.

A FEW MORE
Was going to wait before showing these but the thread is growing...............
By the way Berkley what about a full length of that Jezail.............. Assuming the pics line up .. #1 Omani Wooden Flask #2 Brass Arabian/North African #3 Omani Talahiq Silver with gold decoration #4 Silver Indo/Arab Primer flask #5 Omani/Arabian Copper with brass decoration #6 Omani with silver decoration #7 Indian Barutdan...the cork of course is not original!! I should also add that this item is not here yet and the pic is the sellers hence the small size. Once it arrives I will post a better pic Enjoy Stu Last edited by kahnjar1; 5th April 2015 at 09:00 AM. |

hello everyone. I have not been Posting or starting new Treads here on the Forum for a long time. So I need to get back into the Party.
 Those are some really nice powder and bullet containers posted above. Thanks for sharing. Here is my collection of Ethno powder and bullet containers. I can describe each, but most of them will be familiar to you. Bandook: That is a good idea. If all of us on this Tread will post pics of their Ethnographic firearms, I believe we could all enjoy a good time. There's not that many of us that are interested in the guns. Most are interested in the blades and armour (I don't blame them). My special area of interest are the Balkan/Ottoman/Turkish/Greek, etc. flintlock firearms. Some I have have been restored to firing condition.  I've only posted a couple in the past, but have many more if you are all interested. Would also like to see your guns! What do you all think? Thanks, Rick.

Woaw, Omani powder flask, Ottoman belts...Just so beautiful
I add One Ottoman powder flask with a stamp Probably for the silver parts (please see the thread about algerian bishaq) One primer flask from Afghanistan One powder flask from Pakistan, probably Mughal One Ottoman powder measure One Ottoman bullet box One Moroccan primer flask... BUT after the thread on the Kohl flasks, I wonder if my primer flask is not in fact a khol flask...What do you think Khanjar? All the best, Kubur |
