Beer Steins of the German Empire in the Imperial Period, Great War, Weimar Period and the Third Reich era’s.

One of the most overlooked collectible areas in our hobby of militaria is collecting the beautiful picturesque art associated with the Beer Steins of the German Empire in the Imperial Period, Great War, Weimar Period and the Third Reich era’s. 

Many different varieties of Steins could be purchased by Officers and Enlisted men showing pride in their previous or present service time.

I was fortunate in finding a 1905 – 1907 Beer Stein with a listing of Unteroffiziers (NCO’s) in the 3d Infantry Regiment, Prince Karl of Bavaria 1st Company, Augsburg.  See Pictures.

Among the names listed is an NCO named Maurer.  If this soldier was perhaps twenty years old (give or take) he would be old enough in 1941 to be a Senior Paymaster receiving an elaborate ashtray as a gift at Christmas from his subordinates.  See Ashtray Special Offer Above.  Of course certainty is not guaranteed, but can’t be positively ruled out either.  Just a great coincidence that could be investigated further.  The beautiful Beer Stein (with a Pewter decorative cap) has a Lithopane picture bottom showing a Soldier holding a Stein of Beer with his lady friend in admiration. See Picture.

Condition: is MINT considering its age, no chips or cracks.
The height of the Stein is 11 inches
Comes with: Translation of all wording on Stein.
Beer Volume is .51 liters
The Stein and Ashtray (listed above) should be sold together.
