CJ,
I just recently purchased a St. Hubertus 1/2 stein by Reinhold Merkelbach. It has a signature "PH" under the handle that was recently a discussion item on SteinTalk. You can view a picture of it at http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3258171701.
The German saying, Es lebe was auf Erden stolzirt in grüner Tracht: Die Wälder u(nd) die Felder, die Jäger und die Jagd, translates to "Long live on earth everything that struts in a green dress. Woods and fields, the huntsman and the hunt." The side scenes in mine are a hunter and his dog with a deer in one of the scenes. Mine has the hexagram mark and the number 480. I am anxious to see if your stein looks like mine. Is there any signature on it?
