~ Imperial German Wurttemberg Regimental Commemorative Beer Stein ~
This is a beautiful lidded beer stein, decorated with the Wurttemberg - one of the smaller German states - state colours and laurel leaves and military scenes.
The top rim reads ‘9. Wurtt. Inftr. Reg. No. 127. Ulm, 1903-1905’.
On both the right and left sides of the handle there is a list with the names of the regiment’s NCO’s.
The scenes depict a number of soldiers camping; the old king Charles I of Württemberg above flags, laurel and the state’s coat of arms and the last scene commemorates, most probably the 1870 Franco-Prussian war.
The metal lid is decorated with embossed flowers and leaves.
