SCOTTISH POWDER FLASK £145.00
A SCOTTISH HORN PRIMING POWDER FLASK
An interesting 19th Century Scottish Horn Powder Flask used for priming the pan or alternatively a snuff flask/mull of flattened horn form - take your pick! Purchased in Edinburgh by myself 25 years ago and was then described as a priming flask. It certainly makes a sensible priming flask due to the shape of the nickel silver charger which rotates to pick up a set amount of powder and then held over the pan. The brass hinged bottom cover is bone or horn. Nice quality, well made, 4" in length and very tactile!
