WW2 german water bottle ???

[Fritz Christen 1941]

Hello! Can someone advice if is this water bottle original? thx

cheers, Glenn

But not an issue item. This is pre/post war. All war time issued coconut canteens are dated (except for 1944. no 44 dated units have been seen as yet.) so this in indeed a German canteen but in a civilian item not Wehrmacht issue.
