HFg or IIFg...Old Topic, New Pics
« on: April 22, 2022, 06:44:14 PM »





This topic was discussed last year, but I just acquired these powdercans recently at a gun show near the DuPont Hagley Museum.
I cannot say that the powder in the partially filled cans is original, but both appear to be FFg.??
The small can has the mushroom shaped screw on lid ( brass ), and the larger can has a standard brass cap with the patent date of July 1924.
Grandpa Shreckengost always told me to keep an open mind cause everyone is entitled to their own opinion, no matter how wrong they are ( paraphrased for censored content )!

There was a thread on this in the last year. Bill Knight “mad monk” gave the answers. Look through his postings and you will find it.  God Bless, Marc
