MY HUSBAND BROUGHT A STEIN BACK FROM GERMANY WHEN HE SERVED THERE IN WW II. IT HAS A PICTURE OF A GUNNERY NEST WITH 3 GERMAN SOLDIERS LYING ON THIER BELLIES. ONE IS LOOKING THRU BINOCULARS ,ONE IS WORKING THE GUN(MACHINE GUN) AND THE OTHER IS DOING NOTHING. IT HAS THE NAZI FLAG WITH THE SWASTICKA. THERE IS WRITING ON THE LEFT OF THE PICTURE AT THE BOTTOM THAT SAYS:16.(E.M.G.)Komp.. UNDER THE PICTURE IT HAS: ERINNERUNGANMEINEDIENSTZEIT AT THE RIGHT OF THE PIC ON THE BOTTOM IS:Geb.Jager'rRgt.99Sonthofen. DIAGONALLY ON THE RIGHT OF PICURE IS: Alois Burgermeifer. THE PICTURE LOOKS TO BE SIGNED BUT I CAN'T MAKE OUT ALL THE LETTERS. THE FIRST NAME? STARTS WITH AN "N" AND IS 10 LETTERS LONG. THE SECOND LOOKS TO BE "VERBOL" IT HAS 0.5L BY THE HANDLE THAT IS MARKED INTO THE STONEWARE. THERE ARE TWO BANDS OF RED INCIRCLING THE BOTTOM BAND WITH A THINNER ONE ABOVE THE BAND. THE LID HAS A HELMET WITH A EMBLEM OF AN EAGLE WITH A BRANCH IN ITS TALONS. THE OVERALL HEIGHT IS 6 1/2 INCHES. where the lid is attached it is cracked. It shows in the picture. I don't know what it is worth, could you give me an idea?
