Diamonds used to be a girls best friend but in Persia it was a woman's powder flask.
A beautiful example. I will be very jealous; yours has a scabbardI have been looking for an original for years, to no avail.
I hope you get it!
Best regards,

Initially, in an earlier post, I replied "Me" as being the oldest thing in my collection; but seriously, the oldest item that I have at present is a small piece of the outer skin of the HIndenburg LZ 129 disaster of May 6, 1937.
What an enjoyable thread to peruse! Lots of wonderful history contained here.
My oldest is this Model 1873 Springfield "Trapdoor" rifle; cartouche 1883 with serial number corresponding to same year. Model 1887 sling is an original but undated.
