Greetings Marc. I own a stein with the identical inlay but the thumblift is different. The handle is identical however. the colour bands, same, the picture and top and bottom frieze are different from yours and have gold rings. I have a somewhat similar stein with pewter lid, different frieze. Although I have not solved it yet, I came across a tantilising clue a couple of months ago on eBay. I bid, and lost, on an etched stein with similar coloured bands and handle, different inlay but this one had "GK" signature. We know that GK worked for Girmscheid but also for other factories.I know its not much help but perhaps other members can add information also. Regards, Tony B
