Powder Flask Repair

[Coot]

Radiator shops are no longer easy to find and most work seems to be on truck & industrial engines as so many cars have gone to plastic & aluminum radiators. That said, I found one & paid plenty to have the radiator on my '62 Land Rover recored.

copper Remington pistol flask

Original or repro?
Either way, have someone who knows how do the soldering. I don't know how much heat the copper can take. If you decide to use silver solder be sure to get low temp.

Copper can get pretty hot, but a more serious concern might be getting any other soldered joints on the flask so hot that they separate. There are other solders that will melt below 400 F.

Use a soldering iron....your not sweating copper pipe together.

How far back does your collection go? For fur trade @ 1800 most use a powder horn although I've seen reference to leather powder container.
