Hi Fernando
While most contemporary shooters today use seperate powders for the barrel and priming (for flint guns), carried in seperate horns (the priming horn being much smaller) most historical evidence from the period seems to indicate the common use of just one powder in one horn/flask.
So I can't visulize a practicle reason for the two functioning spouts, except maybe a novel way to carry a largeer quantity of powder.
It would be interesting to take a piece of wire or similar and see if both horns are hollowed through, or is there an internal divider at the middle essentially making it two seperate horns.
