While on vacation in Germany I purchased a stein. While doing some light internet reading I came across this paragraph and Photo: "Type 5 - hand inked: The "type 5" mark was used on all steins decorated in Freising, OVER PREVIOUSLY APPLIED DECOR, whether they were manufactured there, or not. Note that on this mark, the top of the "R" extends over and beyond the right hand upright of the "H." This stein carries the Thewalt early logo and the "type 5" decorator mark. Just below, with the same markings, is the largest HR decorated Thewalt stein reported to date, a 3.0 liter, model number 200." Can anyone give me some advice on how to authenticate this.
