(Additional Information) Consignor notes that this was purchased from Norm Flayderman

FINE FIRST MODEL COLT DRAGOON OR WALKER FLASK. Great flask with copper body & brass collar secured with three screws, a “35 grs” spring loaded charger, and a “COLT’S PATENT” marked cap cover. It has inspector initials “WAT” and a tiny “P” proof on top cover. Body of flask is dbl sided with repoussed trophy of arms with Texas & American flags in background, a stand of pikes, cannon and other arms over a pair of crossed Paterson rifles which is over a pair of crossed flared butt revolvers with a ribbon across bottom marked “COLT’S PATENT” without a star in middle. It has eyelets on each side with triangular shaped brass rings. These flasks are pictured as flask numbers 825-830 in The Powder Flask Book, Riling, and appears to be closest to item #827. It is this cataloger’s understanding that these large early flasks, with inspector marks, were made for the Walker but no positive statement can be made at this time. CONDITION: Fine to very fine. Traces of orig finish remain in most sheltered areas being mostly a medium copper patina with a number of nicks & dings on neck but no major dents. Seams are sound with top & spout having a dark brass patina. A really fine early Colt flask. 4-32414 JR414 (2,000-4,000)
