I would recall that these devices were once or twice discussed in the Ethno section and so are registered in the forum archives (which Ibrahiim enjoys calling library ). Looks like their Persian name is WAZNA-I-BARUT (Stones glossary).

In my opinion these are European or from the European ...Here is a description of a very similar item ...

A FINE & RARE 17TH CENTURY GERMAN/DUTCH MATCHLOCK MUSKETEER’S ALL-STEEL ADJUSTABLE POWDER-MEASURE/CHARGER, ca. 1600: In overall fine untouched condition with smooth, deeply oxidized and dark, chiseled, steel surfaces. Retains its original, pull-out, adjustable powder-measure with a graduated and rectangular arm, its circular powder-plunger and a finely chiseled, rivet-fastened, suspension-loop with pierced decorations, at its base--- for a cord/attachment to a Bandolier. The wrought-forged and finely sculpted, cylindrical form, steel body, en suite with generally smooth, untouched, richly patinated surfaces and some forge/hammer-marks, a brazed medial seam, some scattered light abrasions and expected signs of use. The integrally forged, scoop-type pouring mouth with matching wrought-forged steel surfaces and its sides are adorned with pierced and chiseled accents. Very good, rust-patinated interior surfaces with patches of pitting and oxidation. A very early and rare 17th Matchlock Musketeer’s Powder Charger/Measure, ca. 1600. Of typical German/Dutch design with finely crafted and untouched surfaces. The interior, en suite with evident rust-stains. Overall length, 5 1/2” or 7 ½” fully extended. For similar examples, please see H. L. Peterson’s: Treasury of the Gun” and M. L. Brown’s: “Firearms in Colonial America…”. A Very Scarce 17th Century Piece of Military/Soldier’s Equiptment.

Ola Fernando ! Yes you are right about the terminology Wazna I Barut or Wazna Y Barut and I recall the late Anthony North illustration and detail in his "Introduction to Islamic Arms".
