Description:
This is an original early military marked Colt Powder Flask for a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd Model Colt Dragoon Revolver...made from around 1850-55. Both sides of the brass or copper body feature an embossed scene featuring cannons, mortars, drums, pikes, a brace of American and Texan flags with several Colt Paterson revolver rifles and revolvers. At the base is a banner running from the brace of revolvers that reads "COLT'S PATENT". It has the spring loaded charger graduated from 35 grains of powder closed and can be adjusted up to 55 grains by loosening a small set screw and extending the top. The top of the lid is stamped "COLT'S PATENT" in a slight oval configuration. See Robin Rapley's book on Colt Accoutrements 1834-1911 for more info.
Overall, this flask is in excellent condition,100% complete and in working order. Even the original strap hooks (which were made triangular-shaped at Captain Samuel Walker's specific request during the Mexican-American War) are intact. The scenes remain in excellent condition with excellent details. The body is solid with no major dings or dents. The seams between the two half-shells are solid along the bottom and the sides. All in all, an excellent example of an early Colt Dragoon Flask.
