English powder flasks

I've been asked to restore a Hawksley powder flask. I might be able to use a commercial soring but may have to make a spout.

Anyway, why did some flasks have tassels? this one is missing them but I see it I Ray Rilings' book on powder flasks.

Found an image of a similar flask. The one I'm working on looks like this one on both sides.

I love the flasks.

Ned Roberts wrote that the flasks started to partially replace horns when they became popular with he cap n' ball pistols.

If you go to the 1858 Remington forum and look for Mazo Kid he might be able to help you. He collects powder flasks.

Odd Job pointed out a reproduction that is available in England. I've emailed them.
