Views of the flask body, the top mount removed, with the belt hook unscrewed, and of the inside of the top mount showing the small, thin, iron powder-stopping plate riveted to the cut-off lever, and moving together with it, thus allowing powder to enter the nozzle.

Please note that almost all the original blued and blackened surfaces are still retained in 'untouched' condition!
