The inscription on the barrel says
ستة ٢٨٢
“Year (1)282” which is equivalent to 1865-6
The other inscription is more tricky. I think it says
عمل ساسي
“Work of Sassi”
Sassi is a name common in North Africa. I am not sure if it derives from a place, in which case it could be understood as having been made in that place. It might also come from Awlad Sassi, the name of an Algerian tribe
