This early powder tester features a brass testing barrel with round pan on top and a brass testing wheel engraved with numbers 1 through 8 to test strength and quality of powder. Resistance spring is of hand forged iron. The one piece grip is of maple and carved with moldings on each side, behind barrel. CONDITION: Very good, brass retains a pleasing dark mustard patina. Grip retains its original surface. A very nice, early and simple powder tester. DMG
