The research that I've read indicates that HR did not manufacture their own lids, rather they obtained the lids from such firms like Marzi and Remy. However, these inlaid lids are original to the stein. The pewter lids, which are often stamped HR also reflect a wide degree of variations. Unlike some other firms, HR is often assumed to produce "custom" pieces. This would explain the variations in the same mold numbered steins.
