Antique copper and brass powder bag for hunting muzzle-loading firearms. The powder bag comes from Paris and is made of engraved copper, dating from the early 20th century. In spite of its ancient age this piece is in very good condition: the copper bag looks great and shows no bumps or visible flaws. The metal surface is engraved with a fine motive of diamonds and stars that stand out clearly on the dark background. The dispenser, the lid and the ring are made of brass. The lid bears an engraved inscription: P.Q.F. A. PARIS. At the dispensers mouth we can see some grooves and numbers designed to measure the quantity of powder needed for each shot. Original and very well preserved, this metal powder bag is a piece that will stand out anywhere. Measurements: Width: 8.2 in / 21 cm. Height: 3 in / 8.5 cm.
