An Artillery Shell Beer Stein (Item WWI 11-4 & MRBSTEIN 2-1)

DESCRIPTION: This stein is not made from an actual artillery shell; it is fashioned in pewter to look like one. It is 8" high with a bottom diameter of 3 ¼". It has a raised Iron Cross as its central design surrounded with a leaf design framing. The thumbuft features “Germania” with her sword of Bismark and the Prussian Holhenzollern crown held high. A very nice momento of the Great War. 100% original.

PRICE: $395.00

DESCRIPTION: This is one of the nicest steins in the collection. It is an artillery model with vibrant colors. It belonged to a Reservist Siegmann, interestingly. This would mean Victorious Man. It is of the usual and traditional size and has the pewter lid with the two artillerymen greeting each other while having a friendly toast with beer steins raised. The eagle on the thumb rest has the guard star clutched in his beak. Siegmann served in the 2nd Battery of the teaching units (Lehr.Regt.) of the Field Artillery marksmanship School in Juterbog 1901-1903. Interesting, Juterbog had always been an instruction center for the German military elite. Before WWII there was an Art of War Institute there where SS officers were trained. The SS Sonderkommando Juterbog units were formed here. The stein is in perfect all around condition and of course it has the names of all the reservemen listed down the rear where the handle is located. At the stein's bottom is a beautiful lithophanne scene of two Bavarian lovers’s dressed in Bayriche trachten as they embrace. Just about one of the nicest steins we have handled.
