I thought it would be interesting to show some of the more unusual regimental stein shapes. The following is from the 1st company, 2nd Bavarian Jaeger Bn. The owner was Gefreiter Baum who served from 1908 - 1910. This style stein is referred to as the tree trunk. As you can see the handle is shaped and colored like a tree branch. The photograph on the front is the company commander, Hauptman Hugo Bauerschmidt.
When photographs are incorporated into the stein decor they are generally the unit or regimental commander. Steins with a photograph of the owner exist but are uncommon. The thumblift is a stag head with a target centered in the antlers. This was a popular thumblift on jaeger steins. Also of interest is the roster which lists 17 one year volunteers.
