This seems to be British Finch Noyes Thin Case Petrol Bomb - an 1915 RFC bomb with what seems to be a No3 Pistol. And a fine example. This is a picture of one of the first models, still rather crude - yours seems a very fine late development one. Quite a number of models of incendiary bombs were tested by the British in 1915, with petrol, phophorus or "carcass mixture" (almost any mixture of chemicals that could burn and provoke a fire).

Does not seem too "thin case" to me...

I agree - it does not seem to be "thin case" but the pistol looks definitively British and the general look of the bomb is rather unique - as I said these bombs were "operational experiments" and knew many variations. the problem is that due to that kind of development process, with the exception of a few photographic documents, there is no data on these bombs - same with the Belgian Bataille bombs etc...
