I'm a little bit confused, because I found in the net a flask with nearly the same shape, but complete iron. In that case they say German 16th cent.

I see your point but really the only similarity is the shape. No doubt the Auction House is accurate in it's description???? Often they are not, though IMHO in this case the decoration certainly LOOKS European.
I stick with Afghani for my flask and yours.
As a matter of interest, is there a powder cut off, and how does it function?
