Thanks for the hint.
In measuring its mouth exterior i have an approximate 35 m/m which, in anglo terms, gives a 1 3/8 ". I don't think this measure would be an obstacle.
But i am not desperate for a flask top, so to say. If i were to acquire one, it would have to be an old thing; a shining one wouldn't fit. I don't want this flask to be operational (i am not a shooter) but aestethically complete.
I am more focused in finding its provenance ... and age; among a zillion flasks i see out there, i see none with such a thick metal; all are made of thin copper with all the embossing revealing from the inside ... i bet. If anyone here has a 'standard' copper powder flask may compare the weight.
