Good night everyone!

I found this German WW2 Canteen on the internet today with a very suspicious price (about $15). I would like to know if you could help me by analyzing this pictures and telling me if this canteen is a good original piece from ww2.

Thank you very much,
Matheus Consone

And that mark (GNL41), I took a look on the web and had not found anything about then, only about the mark GNL42
