Here's an unusual shooting prize for a regimental shooting match in 1900. The soldier on the finial indicates that this was for an infantry regiment and the eagle thumb lift indicates that the unit was part of the Imperial Army as opposed to the Bavarian Army. The stein is porcelain with a lithophane (translucent scene in the base viewable with light) ca. 1900. | |
