Wow... now that is interesting... looks like a sight-tube inside the powder measure so you can see that there is powder, and that the measure is full... Since you can't see through that tin-can powder reservoir, you need to see something to make sure your dropping a full charge... Very interesting design....

Looks too small to be the shot drop....

Very interesting, powder measure almost certainly.

I can not quite make it out but are there numbers or letters on the post behind the sight glass ? Below the screw ?

Looks like the user could be very sure of the charge volume the way the sight glass is set up. I wonder if it would work with black powder as the tubing is brass? More info on charge volumes might help understand its use, too.

Hi,

Thanks.
Is a only mark (34) in this piece.

It is a very interesting mechanism.
Thanks for all answers.

That is a really impressive piece of kit. I believe it to be a black powder measure. I suspect that there may be hash marks on the brass measuring rod inside the glass tube? It really is a handsome item.

^^^ I agree. It is a great find.
