I’m actually surprised there isn’t more of this on Ebay…
Listing Reads: Antique 10 key Simple System Flute 1900’s
Looks like a Pakistani Flute for only $995. 
I wonder how they managed to conclude that this was a simple system flute??? 
Given that it is (NOT) an ANTIQUE and has (NOT) 10-Keys and is (NOT) from the 1900’s.
OK, could possibly be from 1999!
It’s not unusual for antique dealers to be clueless about instruments. By “research” they presumably mean “Google”. Have you notified the seller of your concerns?
There is!
And that is the usual remedy. When you see another, just message the seller. Most do not have a clue, as has been said, and should welcome their enlightenment.

It does come in a Cavallaro case. I didn’t know they were from Pakistan 
So if I understand your point about the flute. The case is of better quality than the flute 
A few months ago I purchased a flute of apparent French manufacture with many of the same keywork characteristics. In my case, it was branded ‘Douglass’ and was in all probability was made of flawless cocus. I ask that you consider two points about the keywork that tend to point away from Pakistan. A close look will reveal what appears to be a solder joint between the keycup and the key shank., not injection cast as a single unit. The springs are possibly steel, and are fastened with set screws. All of this is consistent with French manufacture in the first decade of two from French workshops. The head is fully lined, unlike the half-lined head on mine, but this doesn’t
signify much. The question is one of pitch or sounding length. My flute will play at A=440Hz. with a 2 mm. extension. I cannot really hazard a guess about the wood, there’s obviously a mixture of heartwood with outer wood. . .something I have not seen in a Paki flute, but not definitive. I’d be curious to hear Jem’s opinion. One question remains, since this is a Pratten type of single joint body, and I cannot see if this flute has metal line joints as mine does. The price is a bit high for an unknown flute. In my case I got a great flute for a song, this on the other hand may be the other side of the coin, a pig for the price of a silk purse.

Unless they paid an antique price for it. Maybe not so welcome then. 
Actually, I misread this seller. Not an antique dealer, but a regular old garage band music store.
I forgot to add: The head joint has a nearly identical crown and tuning arrangement. The material appears to be an early form of some form of celluloid plastic which has not reacted well to UV over the years and had approximately the same shade as the flute in question. Again, this argues against Paki origin. . .don’t think I’ve seen a Paki flute with an externally showing tuning screw. Also, on closer inspection I see inset metal bumpers to protect against spring wear. . .quite similar to my early 20th C. flute. I would very much like to see the tenons, and if they are reinforced metal as I found on mine. . .that would be very pursuasive.
