Thanks Corrado
Am I correct in the Sheffield atributation? Also have you ever seen a similar mechanism for powder dispensing. I assume it was designed so that you did not have to put your thumb over the top of the spout, probably something a gentleman should not have to do to getting his thumb dirty. But quiet a complex solution to a simple operation. Regards Ken |

More of a safety measure I would think, in case of a lingering spark in the barrel.

The first mark on the left probably is not the Tudor Rose, but the crown-mark of Sheffield. The listings found in the net show the silver hallmarks and I don't know wether these have been in use for brass too. So it is very uncertain to interpret their meaning.
The second mark from the left is certainly a "D", this and the next mark are unknown and the last one should be - if it were silver - the date letter "s", what in Sheffield stands for silver made in 1910. This date I think is very late, probably too late for the flask. |
