Thank you all

Its an eye-opener to hear that Colts were made here (I didn't realise)
Revolvers were popular amongst 'gentlemen' in the UK up until WW2, but not 'the usual'.
Shame its not the whole flask, I guess this little bit is fairly useless on its own

No its not useless!!! If you wanted to make it "complete", there are replica flasks available of this one, and you could remove the top and put it on this. A bit of "ageing" of the brass should make it look great.Local black powder shooting shops should be able to help.
