I recently picked up this stein and I was curious about the finial. It almost looks like it would have been a screw off, but there is no threading around the top. Additionally, right under the top there is a band of pewter (I assume it's pewter) that is shiny and not aged like the rest of the top. I don't think the pewter has been modified/tampered with as it's a seamless transition. Wondering if anyone knew about this type of finial style or could tell me anything more about it. I think that to view the photos, you need to copy and paste each link into your browser. http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/807/001eeb.jpg http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/4894/002qct.jpg http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/1950/003ejr.jpg http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/1333/004hsq.jpg http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/3186/005rwa.jpg http://img542.imageshack.us/img542/9566/006qo.jpg
