DESIREABLE HIGH CONDITION REMINGTON MODEL 03-A4 BOLT ACTION WWII SNIPER RIFLE
23-1201
This extremely rare flask was produced for the Hall rifle under a contract dated March 19, 1819. The contract stated that the United States Armory would have the right to manufacture 1,000 of these Hall flasks. They were produced at Harpers Ferry in what was then Virginia. The powder flask would be more correctly referred to as an ammunition flask because it held both 8 oz. of gun powder and 18 cast lead balls. This tin flask stands nearly 11” tall and was likely originally painted black. It has a central leather band that originally had a carrying strap attached. PROVENANCE: From the Collection of James B. Taylor
