Highly unusual French 19th Century Tricolour Military Spirit Barrel. It probably held brandy or a spirit and was issued to troops in the field and carried whilst they were on campaign. The barrel is in excellent condition with iron coopered hoops bound around the barrel. The barrel has also been painted in the national colours of France and all the paintwork is original.
Few examples have survived
Retains original stopper and wooden tap – also the metal carrying loops to each end. Great piece – very few of these items have survived due to their fragility. The barrel measures 7 inches in length and 4.5 inches in diameter. Would make a great display piece for a collector of French militaria.
