Description:
An original U.S. Military Rifleman’s, 1825 pattern, powder flask. These flasks were the first metal powder flasks contracted for by the United States government.

These flasks were made in Liverpool, England and were sold to the U.S. govt. by James Baker of Philadelphia. Overall Height: 8.25? Width: 3.94? Thickness: 1.50? Condition: Has a very good dark age patina, with a couple of very minor dings and split seams, but not separated and never repaired – Charger mechanism operates as it should
