Patrick, the Regimental experts (I'm not one!) are going to need photos to give you definitive answers. I suggest you also go back to the SCI Home Page, click on Library, and scroll down to "Regimentals - Old or New?" That article will help you determine if you have an original or a reproduction. The phrase you quote, "I have fought many battles...", makes me think it's a repro. I don't believe Germany fought any battles between unification, about 1871, and 1914, unless it involved their colonies in Africa. On the other hand, Reiter Hauser (Horseman Hauser) may have fought many battles with husbands/boyfriends if the stein is to believed!
