Hi Stu.
Hmmmm. This is a difficult one to guess it's origin. I don't reconize the pattern from any paticular location. The engraving is generic enough to have come from almost anywhere. The cap design reminds me of some Arab or Omani flasks. But nothing else looks Arabic. No, I think Ibrahiim is closer being Indian. Tough call on this one.
The chain looks to be of good quality. You can tell this flask has seen some use. If you can locate one of those long medical Q-Tips, or similar, try rubbing the cotton end down to the bottom of the flask and see if you can find some black powder residue.
It's a nice looking flask with a great age patina. I like it.
