Here are several that I have. I don’t remember where or when I got them. I’ve probably had the largest the longest.

The other two flasks you have could easily be Italian reproductions but I'm pretty sure this one is authentic.
I am sure the Italians have not made a reproduction of it. In fact, I looked thru "THE POWDER FLASK BOOK" and out of over 1550 flasks shown in that book, I didn't see this one. Treat it nice. It seems to be one of the rarer ones. :)
 
That flask could be original but it has been reproduced. See Track of the Wolf. The copy doesn't seem to have been struck so deep and the top is held on with brass screws.

Was about to reply but hawkeye2 beat me to it. Reproduction in my opinion.

The shape of the lever is typical for many reproduction flasks. Lever is likely a white colored metal with brass plating. If the lever has a small circle cast into the lever top and has the letter " P " cast into it that stands for Pedersoli.

The flask has a pleasing patina. Ones with the plated body are less frequently seen.

Track of the Wolf has these flasks for sale new and has one used one for sale.

I think all of mine are reproductions but just wanted to share some different styles. In the first picture I posted the left flask has the adjustable charger. All the rest have simple tubes.
 
I'm guessing the length of the tube or spout determines the charge. So shortning the spout is the only way to adjust? And downward/lower only? How does one increase the charge?

Do all Italian flasks have the same threads? ( metric, I'm sure)

All of mine do have the same threads.
In my shooting box I have 9 of them ranging from 17 grains to 115 grains. That doesn't include the ones that are screwed into the Italian flasks I have.
