Mystery object

[cydrych]

Hi all

Found this item at the antique store today, I haven't bought it yet and I'm not sure what it is. Here some pictures of the object, the last photo was not in focus but on the seal it reads "manufacture Francais d'armes et cycles saint-etienne" translation: french manufacture of weapons and cycles. it also has its weight written on the side when full and empty, the seller is selling 3 of these, 2 without seals and one with seal.

If anyone could help me identifying this object that would be greatly appreciated

It is a gas cylinder for an air rifle:

Perhaps someone can save a photo from the link? I'm a total dunce on the computer!
