Condition:

All the powder flasks are in working order. The first flask is very good, with minor corrosion on the spout. The second flask is deeply patina covered, with several shallow dents, showing use but in good functional condition. The third flask is very good with several small dents. The small reproduction flask is very good plus. The shot flasks and bags are good, with minor losses noted. All of the leather is dry and in need of care. Stitching on a couple of them need attention but the bags of the flasks are intact. Two have minor issues where the leather connects with the metal spouts: one is stitched rather crudely, the other has a missing piece of leather.
