Description
The half liter pottery stein is approximately 12 1/2 inches tall in overall height. The rim of the lid is engraved 'Gefr. Hinkler 2/31'. The stein bears the 'In Memory of My Service Time' statement above the color depiction of a horse drawn artillery piece, with the caption 'Königin aller Waffen', or 'King of all Weapons'. Below the illustration is a quote from Field Marshal Von Hindenburg: 'Was Deutsch War Muss Wieder Deutsch Werden Das Merke Dir Du Deutsche Jugend' ('German youth should remember that what was German once must be German again', a reference to territory and other possessions lost by Germany after World War I. The stein had a very subtle repair to the pewter strap around the stein handle. There is a 'Y' shaped hairline crack to the interior side of the base that does not effect the integrity of the stein.
