Reservist Bottle 1900 – 8th Baden Infantry Regiment No. 169 Rastatt – With Rare Figure Mounting
For sale is a superbly preserved, original reservist bottle (field bottle) from the period of the German Empire (circa 1900). A top-class keepsake of the service time of a German conscript, in exceptionally good and complete condition.
Regiment / Unit: 6th Company, 8th Baden Infantry Regiment No. 169
Garrison / Location: Fortress town Rastatt (Baden)
Name of the Reservist: Reservist Tauber
Special feature (closure): Very elaborate, three-dimensional tin screw cap with a fully figurative soldier figure (with Pickelhaube) sitting on a barrel.

Inscriptions & mottos:
Front: “Parole Heimath. Reserve” and the classic saying “Du warst mein Trost in trüben Stunden, das hab ich als Soldat empfunden.”
