Jerry,
Actually it isn't the same stein. The amckay stein is mold 1457, a right profile in civilian clothes (appears younger and may not be the same person) and the coat-of-arms is different with yellow and green coloring. The eBay stein is mold 1458, a left profile in uniform (appears older) and the coat-of-arms is different with blue and grey coloring. If anything, a Bismarck depicted in civilian clothing as an elder statesman should appear to be older. I am checking a coat-of-arms site to see if I can identify either one.
