This Indian colonial silver flask has been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as .900 standard (900/1000) silver.

This flask has been tested for watertightness and is ready for use.

To ensure the flask remains water tight, the cork should be moist and therefore fully expanded to provide an effective seal.

There are two recommended methods to ensure the cork does not dry out and shrink:

Method One: Keep fluid in the flask at all times, and keep the flask on its side to ensure the cork remains wet.

This antique silver hip flask is an exceptional gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition.

The flask has been professionally polished and is in presentation condition.

There are no hallmarks as to be expected with such a piece; the date and origin can be determined by the composition.
