Powder Flask for Identification

[kahnjar1]

I also think Middle East rather than Asia. Are we agreed that it is in fact a POWDER flask.......note the screw top. Pics do not show depth (front to back) ......could it be for some sort of liquid?

I'd guess it being Turkish or surrounds, so far as Ottoman influenced regions of Morocco as this silver over brass is seen on a number of Koumaya.

I should have posted a side view. Here it is. It's definately a powder flask. The tip threads into a larger opening which would be used as a fill point for the powder. The tip of the smaller piece - has a smaller opening - for loading. It's missing the stopper.
I agree with others here. Another look and Turkish or maybe Moroccan seems like a better guess. Again, thanks for your comments. Rick.
