I will provide a brief description of it. I am not a collector so I do not know about all of this and did not realize they are so popular. It has a pewter lid that is conical in shape with various designs carved into to it. On the inside of the lid are the letters DGBM and directly under those letters are the letters DRM inside a diamond shape. On the opposite side of the lid from the letters are the numbers 73. The body is ceramic or stoneware I cannot tell. It has a picture of a town on it and it says Heilbronn GM Neckar. It appears to be a large church with a village surrounding it. It also has a crest that has a yellow background with an eagle the sheild has blue red nd yellow stripes on it and the side motiffs are identical cottages with a mountain scene in the back ground and is raised from the body of the stein. On the bottom of the stein is the number 715 and the words Origina King. The stein is shiny and has been shiny since I was a child and has never ever faded and is not chipped or cracked any were. the handle is also decorative the pictues on the sides appear to be outlined in gold and this piece has been in my family since the 1970s can you tell me aything about it?
