hunyadi Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 This is a regimental stein that was brought back by my great-grandfather who served in WW1. Unfortunatly the pikelhaub and the trench art flower vase went to my grand uncles side of the family...at any rate - can anyone tell me about it? What Inf Div this steain was from and if it would have made sense for him to get locally as he served in the 88th Infantry Division? Or did it just come out of some place that was selling suveniers to the occupation army? For insurance - what do these go for now-a-days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chip Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 1.Oberrheinisches Infanterie Regiment Nr.97. Garrisoned at Saarburg, XXI Army Corps. Founded in 1881. Could have been a gift, or purchased from a shop. There are lots of senarios. This one is in average condition (owner's name damaged). I don't keep up with current prices, but a guess would be the vicinity of $300.Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
