Fake or original?
I am sorry for the bad pictures of this powderflask but is it possible to say if it is a fake or an original?

Re: Fake or original?
If it's from China, it's a Fake. otherwise, it's (probably) a "folk art reproduction"....

The spring and lever appear to be typical of all Italian reproductions.

Re: Fake or original?
There were /are many iterations of that flask, as they was made from the 1840s up into the Civil War, some were made of copper some were made of brass, ...Yours looks like the later version and looks genuine to me... Google Batty Flask... Just by going to images your education will start. Good luck

Re: Fake or original?
Thank you very much, all of you, for your opinions.
I really appreciate it.
Could anyone on this forum perhaps recommend a book about American made powder flasks?
Maybe there is no book written yet about this subject, I do not know.
