Retains a nice dark patina. Good spring tension. Has a small eyelet on either side for a strap. Missing the small pin that locks the measuring spout. There is a dent and small split along the seam on the bottom. Really a neat old flask that's marked both BATTY and 1853, a marking usually found on "peace flasks". This is the same size and shape of a standard peace flask. Appears to be made of copper or a very dark brass. This is certainly for a musket.
