Hi guys
What do you think about this powder flask? It was bought in 1980 in an antique store in England.

The flask body is very similar to the flask no. 514 in The Powder Flask Book of Ray Riling.

The spout is probably not original. The head of the flask looks rather new to me, maybe a repacement with italian replica parts. The spring also seems to be new.

There is an inscription on the neck
