Hi,

These cannon types are very hard to pin point, there are alot of these made in China though. I once discussed Michaels piece and a similare piece in my collection. He told me that without a good provenance they are most likely Chinese rather than German :/.
I also saw four of this type on ebay a month or three back located in China.

Not sure if your piece is Chinese or German, but the first seems more likely, i am sorry.
