Welcome to the forum Tony,
This is either the reproduction of a very early powder flak (XVI century), or the real thing. Perhaps other members chime in with a decisive opinion. |

Powder Flask Construction
Hello Fernando,
The body of the flask has been brazed together with brass/bronze, I have cleaned a little area on the measure and this looks like it is brazed to the body with copper. A mix of braze materials !!! Thanks for your interest. |

Hello, tony
It strikes me, in the picture number 8 on the back plate, a perfect line, like the one seen in mechanical treatment .... Affectionately. Fernando K |

The Flask !
Hello Fernando,
Yes it certainly is a straight line. I presumed that they rolled the steel and the mark was left from that. The only straight line on the whole flask, the rest off the flask is all a little off centre, certainly not straight. I think more likely made by a blacksmith than a gunsmith. Tony |
