I think the flask to be a "HAWKSLEY" fluted style flask. Does the patent charger have two scales ? One drams and one grains on each side. Pictures of the charger from the top, a picture of the side seam may also be helpful. Is the maximum charge less than 110 grains ?? Thanks Jim

The charger is only marked in drams.  3 is the largest.  I found another on the internet exactly like it described as Hawksley.  I don't see their name on the top
but there is alot of crust on it.

Suzkat,
What you have is a Hawksley flask. It is shown as #284 page 283 in Riling's Powder Flask Book. There is another variation shown as #290 on page 284. The difference is that #290 has 4 lanyard rings, otherwise they are the same.
