German Bavarian 1st Royal Artillery Regiment Stein (1. KGR. BAYR.ART. RGT.), to Hans Scheuer, who served from 1908 - 1910. This is a very fine stein with a lot of hand painted details, with a portrait of Price Regent Leopold at the center, surrounded by Bavarian flags and shields, the regimental shoulder tab, a picture of two soldiers shaking hands, and interesting scenes of the regiment on garrison duty, at rest, and in action, with both field guns and a large siege mortar, as well as digging a gun emplacement. There is also a smaller picture of a zeppelin over Bayreuth, as well as one of a soldier and a weeping woman. The handle is smooth on the inside, with a fine Bavarian crowned lion holding a Bavarian shield on top, connected to s pewter lid with a field gun on top. This stein is probably Mettlach, so there is no lithopane. The bottom has the number 992 stamped into it before firing, along with a mark looking like a rectangle with a tree on top. Size: 11 1/2 inches tall.
