This Colt Powder Flask is the early type, with curved bottom to the embossed stand-of-arms. You can note the difference in Rapley's book of Colt Accessories. The later flask has a straight bottom. Made for the earlier small-guard Navies, this flask is in excellent condition but lacks anything but the slightest traces of original lacquer finish, the balance aged to a beautiful, untouched patina. It would be perfect for display with a fine condition Navy Revolver.
