Hello Fritz,
this looks like a trench art style lighter made from a German? Signal Pistol cartridge case.

My only concern is the percussion cap still looks to be live.

Cheers

I will try to track the markings down for you..You could be on the right track with Austrian or Hungarian but that crown looks like a lot of the German First War Air force badges and State medals.
