We are grateful for all of the help received to spread the word about the British Powder Flask book since launch: by email, website adverts, news items and links and social media posts.
As a small thank you we would like to share some useful links for those of you looking to start a (British) powder flask collection (not forgetting all the associated sporting item possibilities too!) or to continue to grow your existing one - as well as some associations that you may be interested in finding out more about.
We are grateful to David Williams, Director of Arms & Armour at Bonhams for both writing the forward and being an active champion for our book.
