16th Cent. Powder Flask???

Sorry, Norman,

But honestly: no. There is not the slightest chance to complete that body with original matching parts, nor of re-building them in a decent way and at a reasonable price.

There are various good and complete flasks of this type up for sale every few months, the prices varying from ca. 1,100 to 1,500 USD. A complete piece would give you much more satisfaction, believe me. I never bought fragments in order to complete them. If you still want to purchase that body I think it would be best to keep it the way it is.

If you wish me to I will notify you as soon as the next pieces arise. I regularly search all sales wordwide.

Michael
