Colt Eagle Pistol Powder Flask / SOLD

Description

Colt Eagle Pistol Powder Flask

Original Colt-manufactured pistol powder flask, mid-19th century, constructed of copper or brass with a warm, untouched patina. The body is boldly embossed with a spread-wing American eagle, clutching arrows and rendered in high relief. This eagle motif is a known and correct Colt-pattern design used on pistol flasks intended for Colt percussion revolvers.

Fitted with its original brass collar and spring-loaded dispensing spout, complete with the side thumb lever. The reverse is identical. The flask shows honest age and handling wear with scattered surface marks, but retains strong detail to the eagle embossing.

These Colt pistol flasks are highly desirable, representing the patriotic imagery favored in the Civil War era and directly associated with Colt percussion arms. An attractive example for advanced Colt, Civil War, or percussion-era collections.
