Very nice finds, Congrats!!!
About the flask, is that the two separate pieces, front & back?. Also, the copper ring that goes around where the tip would be fastened. I was just wondering what the tip would have been made of?, wood?, bone?. It might be worth going back to look for it, if you haven't already done so...
Continued Good luck, & Happy hunting~
 

Congrats on the awesome finds! Already answered but the Swastika was a symbol of good luck and power for 3000 years until Hitler used it. HH, Mike
 

Yes the flask is front and back the ring is the top We couldent find the spout though, might have been to deep the flask was at least 12" ,I found these with my New Minlabe SE
 

Way to go TC. Great looking flask.
