Sugarcreekflats,

This would be a stein for the 3rd company of Panzer Aufkl?rung (reconnaissance) Battalion #12. You appear to have an extra letter in Aufkl. The stein could have been purchased by a person during their service time. I don't have a OOB for BW Panzer divisions handy so I can not tell you which division this battalion served with.

Regards,

Gordon

Hello Sugarcreekflats!

As Gordon says, it?s a mug from 3./Pzaufklbtl12 which were stationed in Ebern.

The unit were in existence between 1966 and 2004, and I think that it was part

of 12. Panzerdivision (I?m not sure). The company badge of 3. Kp (3. Coy) looked

like this:
