Cowhorn powderflask
4 Attachment(s)
I won a powderflask at an auction for a ridiculous amount.
I know little of these items and this one is also very simple. I guess it could be XVIIth c. to XVIIIth c. What do you think? Thanks. |
Hallo,
For me it's from the 18th.or beginning 19th.century.The flattened hornplates nailed on a wooden construction and the rather flat corpus are typical for powderhorns of the 18th.century.In the 17th.century you often find an iron construction with a steel spring to close the horn and in some cases to portion the gunpowder. Here a simple plug seems to have locked the powderhorn.I am not sure if there is a thread outside.Perhaps for a twist lock ? |
