Austrian lanthorn flask

Like a lot of these old flasks the actual dropped charge is unknown when you purchase them and you only get to figure that out when you have them in hand. I had hoped this one would be above 50 grains, preferably more, and maybe have a top end of some where around 80 grains. Unfortunately its range is 35-45 FFFg and nothing I have uses charges this light. It is, however, a very nice example of a cross-spring pump charger.

a double charge would be 70-90 grains, just a thought.

Rich-that’s how I used it for awhile but eventually found what I needed.

Dennis, that is a wonderful flask, just to own. One day you might "get" a .36 and then it will be a perfect powder container.
