I have the same flask. Bought it in 63 or 64.

Wow, those have been made in Spain and Italy since the late 50's. so made in USA , maybe a Colt for one of their repro runs, even though the 2nd and 3rd gens were forged in Italy they were finished in the USA and could be stamped as such. I've seen a 2nd gen complete set with a USA stamped flask, but it also had Colt Pat and Hartfrod on it!

I have the same one, got it a few years ago at my lgs for $5 in the original box. I have to find were I put the box but I won't to say CVA or COLT.

Nice, but sorry don't know when it was made.
Made in USA is a definite plus and does lead one to believe older than newer.

Russell13 recently bought one and asked the same question.
Catca67 thinks that they were popular in the 80's because he had one.
See post #3: --->>> https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/pawn-shop-find.871818/
If they were made for many years then it would be hard to pinpoint when it was made.

"Made in USA" is early but not before the Civil War Centennial of the 1960's. More recent ones are usually unmarked. Ones from Colt are marked Colts Patent but I am not sure where they were made, maybe England. Copper is also indicative of an early model as more recent ones are brass or german silver. The blue boxes are Pedersoli which are all that I have seen available for a while. It would be great to find a "made in USA" copper specimen in its original box. Any true hoarders out there?
