J Peppers, I couldn't find an exact match, but The Beer Stein Library lists mold 1180A for Marzi & Remy, which shows a 4F scene and German saying. It also has a different handle. Thewalt also made a similar type body, but your stein was probably made by Marzi & Remy. Per The Beer Stein Library the German verse is “Im Wald und auf der Heide, da such ich meine Freude.” (In the forest and the meadow, there I seek my pleasure.) The text on this stein is from a poem (“Im Wald und auf der Heide”) written by Wilhelm Bornemann in 1816 and set to music in 1827 by F. L. Gehrike. The Beer Stein Library list the price range for mold 1180A as $60 to $80 in mint condition. Your stein would be in that general range or perhaps slightly less as the 4F theme is popular. Keep in mind that the range is based on stein auction prices, which include a commission paid by the buyer and seller. This could reduce the amount the buyer receives. The price on eBay or a direct sale will be at the lower end of the range. Ron
