DRGM #94507 was issued in 1898 to Matthias Girmscheid for the idea of a beer stein with a recessed hollow base. In the rare instances, as here, where it's actually impressed into the clay, it provides certain knowledge that the stein was made in the Girmscheid factory. For an example of the same handle being used on another Girmscheid stein, take a look at form # 271 in the BSL (http://www.beerstein.net/item.asp?ItemID=10167&man_id=11).
