This is very strong example of the “eagle on hummock” style flask supplied by dealers and retailers with Colt Baby Dragoon and early Pocket Revolvers, showing the same motif as those supplied to them by Colt, though lacking the “Colt Patent” marking and considerably cheaper at the time. Rapley hypothesized that about 90 percent of the cases for Colts and a similar percentage of the flasks purchased for them were supplied to retailers by sources other than Colt.

This has wonderful color- a mellow brass to the brass spout and top, strong blue on most of the spring, and very pleasing deep, but warm brown lacquer on the body and sharp detail to the raised motifs. We see just a little crustiness on one side of the spring and on the screw on top, and one spot on the edge of the flask body, about level with the middle of the eagle’s wing, where a scrape rubbed the lacquer and the exposed brass then formed some thin verdigris.  [sr][ph:L]
