Hi,


Please can anybody translate the attached information concerning the whereabouts of the powder flask?

Header is: Re: Powder flasks, [the term for a gunpowder measuring device for reloading the gun, I don't remember it's exact translation from Russian].

Post date is 30th of March, 2011.

Thank you so much, Zwielicht,

Warsaw was my guess, too.
