Description from the seller
Historical Reservist Beer Stein (1896-1898) – Infantry Regiment King Wilhelm I (6th Württ.) No. 124, Ulm
A splendid, authentic Reservist beer stein of the musketeer Meier, who served from 1896 to 1898 in the 12th Company of the Infantry Regiment King Wilhelm I (6th Württemberg) No. 124 in Ulm.
The stein is richly decorated with colorful scenes from soldier life, including a guard at the Schildhaus Station and a farewell greeting. The text "Steh ich in finstrer Mitternacht..." underscores the nostalgic significance of the piece. The lid is made of solid tin and is crowned by a detailed Württemberg eagle as a thumb rest as well as a decorative knop. An authentic piece of German military history from the late 19th century.
