All of the originals I have examined have bodies made from copper with brass valve heads. They were a standard extinguisher in more than one size so likely civilian and military, rather like the Pyrene type.
I've heard that the Methyl Bromide ate away at the copper over time hence the relative scarcity today.

I have these. They are copper bodied with a brass valve. Not sure what they contained. They were the original type on my carrier at production. They have dates from 1934 and 1936> I was once told they were fitted in Tiger Moths> I used to have a nice one once with a complete label, but sold it prior to contracting this (carrier) disease.
I assume they were Pyrene? (More so after Adrian's post) Not sure what striking the knob did.
