Early Dixons Rifle Powder Flask

This is a particularly early Dixon Flask embossed with a hanging game scene and the makers name "James Dixon and Sons"
This is a scarce flask and has been copied in the past but this is genuine from an old collection I am listing. The spout and lid unscrew easily but the spout spring is broken but are available from specialist dealers such as Peter Dyson and Henry Krank.
There are no splits in the body of the flask and thankfully it has not been polished in recent history. There are some dents and the patina of 175 years.
Overall a pleasing looking British flask from a famous maker.
