Elegant priming horn spring spout

Master gunsmith Brian Anderson’s work. I love the thumb latch and spring combined so stylishly.

Here’s a simpler one I got from him a few years back.
Awesome primer, easy to reach over the top of the rifle to prime.

Very, very interesting and beautiful priming flasks.

 I think I have seen this kind of latch and spring mechanism at powder flasks from before 1800. The priming flask in the first post seems to be  similar to the English flask from the late 18th century shown in the Riling.



Thanks for showing. You don't see something like this every day.

I’ve never seen a thumb latch mechanism before. Very interesting, thanks for showing.
