| ~ a' Büchs' auf dem Rücken ~ | |
| This light relief, salt-glazed, stoneware stein is marked "4062 Made in Germany and RM in a circle" made by Reinhold Merkelbach shortly after WWII (see: Chris Wheeler's Stein Marks). The verse is in Bayrisch (Bavarian dialect) and shows a hunter greeting a young lady on his merry way to a hunt. | |

a' Büchs' auf dem Rücken, a' Gamsbart am Hut, a' Dirndl im Herzen das macht frohen Mut Jäger Gruss |
a gun on the back, a goat's beard (ornament) on the hat, (and) a maiden in the heart makes a happy mood. Hunter's Greeting |
