    Bavarian Reservist Beer Stein, 5th Battery, 2nd Bavarian Foot Artillery Regiment, Germersheim, 1909–1911. (Lot: 1041)

    A superb early 20th-century regimental stein commemorating the service of Reservist Ziegler with the 5th Battery of the 2nd Bavarian Foot Artillery Regiment stationed at Germersheim, on the Rhine. The richly hand-painted body depicts heavy artillery crews in training, horse teams in the field, and a panoramic view of the Germersheim fortress. The motto “Wir dienen am d. Rheinesstrand zum Schutze für das Vaterland” (“We serve on the banks of the Rhine for the defense of the Fatherland”) runs around the top border. The pewter lid features an artilleryman with a field gun and a Bavarian lion thumb lift, symbolizing the proud Bavarian artillery tradition.

    An outstanding example of pre-WWI reservist craftsmanship, combining patriotic imagery, vivid color, and fine porcelain detail typical of 1900s regimental souvenirs.

  • Naval Officer’s Dirk, Germany, Late 19th – Early 20th Century

    Naval Officer’s Dirk, Germany, Late 19th – Early 20th Century (Lot: 653)

    A fine German naval officer’s dirk dating to the late 19th or early 20th century. The grip is carved from bone (or early imitation material) with spiral grooves and topped with a heavy brass pommel in the form of a crown. The brass crossguard features square panels with a raised anchor motif, characteristic of naval service.

    The blade is straight, double-edged with decorative fullers, and displays deep etched floral and maritime ornamentation along its length. The etching remains sharp and well-defined.

    The scabbard is made entirely of brass with elegant cast decorative elements and two suspension rings. The metal shows an attractive natural patina consistent with age.

    Included is the original woven portepee, rarely preserved together with such dirks and adding significant collector value.

    A well-preserved example of early German naval edged weapons.
