[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 34033, member: 301"][ATTACH=full]8574[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]8575[/ATTACH] I sold a nice small old powder flask several years back. ( Above ) The markings of yours look like civil war recreations , but non specific and the top ( could use a photo like mine ) looks newly made. Plastic would be a dead give a way to a reproduction. The two Shot Horns both look 19th century,( but may be newer ) and look used , but they're missing the stoppers and carrying straps and have no markings on them . They're cow horn , and while they could have seen military use , I think they're more likely personal hunting horns . Tiny metal shot....is still used for small game today...like birds..( thus birdshot..) , but not normally for anything bigger....like folks ! :inpain::inpain:[/QUOTE]
