Rare Colt First Model Navy Powder "Plunger Style" Flask

This powder flask is the first version made for the Model 1851 Navy and has a canon facing left above two anchors with a stand of flags in the background, crossed revolving rifles over a revolver, and then the "COLTS PATENT" banner at the bottom. This design is only on one side, and it has a set of military style triangular hanging rings and the centered plunger spout.

ConditionFine with an untouched "golden" lacquered appearance. The balance flask has an aged patina with some spots of verdigris and dark residue, a few scattered small dents, and minor marks. This is a rare opportunity to obtain one of these flasks separate of a cased set!
