I have had this piece for over 30 years. The pewter top is in the form of an officer pickelhaube with pearlring and the visor is engraved M. Kebel. The wappen is the older style with oak leaves. The glass is engraved L1/2 , obviously a half litre. There are holes as can be seen at the sides of the helmet...chin scales?? Although, would these not flop around when one is quaffing a beer??. Anyway further comments are welcome and if anyone has a more complete example in your collection, please post some photos.
Chin scale holes?
The thumb lift is bent but in the form of a plumed knight's helmet.
Old style wappen and engraved M. Kebel, perhaps we can track him down?? I never got into Imperial steins, we see quite a few at the SOS and they are very colourful and tempting. I also know that there are modern day copies for sale.
