I am a reference librarian trying to help a patron identify a stein. The bottom is marked DRGM 454927 (no other markings) which I understand is Deutsches Reichs Gebrauchsmuster and is described as a form of patent used prior to 1945. Does anyone know if it is possible to research DRGM registrations to see who holds the "patent" for this stein? I thought it might help her identify it. I have checked German patent records at the Boston Public Library and they only have patents beginning with DE. The patent DE 454927 is definitely not a beer stein. Thanks.
