Appears to be a German Prewar "Political" style Canteen (WW1/1920 Military style).... which didn't include a "cup" like the later German military versions. Used by NSDAP "troops", SA, SS, HJ, RAD, NSKK, NSFK, etc.

Notice the brown leather fittings.... normal for most of the prewar "political" organizations.... some would be RZM marked, and some weren't, as these were also "commercial and export" models prewar. and many pre-dated the RZM system.

Occassionally observed in "combat photos" and certianly worn by many Volksstrum types, latewar....
Hope this helps...
