Original U.S. Mexican-American War Era Small Horn Priming Flask with Unusual Charger Nepalese Cache Extras and it looks like itOriginal Item. One of a Kind. This is a very interesting small size priming powder flask made from horn with brass fittings. This example measures just 4 long. There is some chipping in the horn but it has held up very well overall. The charger is a very interesting example with a small wire tied around the throat to allow for the holes opening. A very interesting horn flask, ready for further research and display!
