William, You aren't related to Hopalong Cassidy are you? The firm of Mathias Girmscheid has a mold number 187 showing a hunting scene with a ceramic lid with a finial of a hunter. It is a 2.5 L relief stein. The Beer Stein Library does not identify it as being designed by KB, so can you post photos showing the initials and the stein itself? TBSL shows the German text as: “Weidmann halt’s mit mir, bin auch ein gut Revier.” (Hunter, stay with me. I am also a good district.) Does this agree with your stein? To at least partially explain the somewhat obscure text, a “Revier” is the assigned hunting district of a German forest warden or “Forstmeister”. I don't know if the "O" on the bottom of the stein has any meaning. Ron
