ph0ebus Posted 1 August , 2017 Share Posted 1 August , 2017 Hi all, Back after a break from the forum (real life getting in the way, and all that). Check out my latest acquisition, for the princely sum of a dollar at a local charity thrift shop! Marked Gerz, West Germany on the base. Missing its lid (sadly) but otherwise not a bad addition to the stein collection. Just shy of 7" tall. I would assume the unit being represented is IR9? Has anyone seen a legitimate IR9 Regimental Stein we might compare this to? I am curious just how fantastic the elements on this stein are. -Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AOK4 Posted 2 August , 2017 Share Posted 2 August , 2017 It's the 9th Bavarian Infantry Regiment. It doesn't look as detailed and sharp as a real stein and most are made from white porcelain and not brownish clay. Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egbert Posted 2 August , 2017 Share Posted 2 August , 2017 I concur with Jan, looking at the pictures it might be a replica stein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyH Posted 2 August , 2017 Share Posted 2 August , 2017 (edited) Daniel, It's still a nice thing to have, have you tried a quaffing a brew from it yet? Mike. Edited 2 August , 2017 by MikeyH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egbert Posted 2 August , 2017 Share Posted 2 August , 2017 Apropos and BTW -I am still looking for a genuine WW1 beer recipe, either British or German for a brewer friend. If anybody can help?...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khaki Posted 2 August , 2017 Share Posted 2 August , 2017 (edited) I quite like the look of it, nice decorative item, even if it is reproduction, at least you don't have to worry too much about the 'cat' knocking it over. khaki Edited 2 August , 2017 by Khaki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ph0ebus Posted 2 August , 2017 Author Share Posted 2 August , 2017 Indeed! The real deal can be quite costly, even more so if the cat knocks it over! I did try it, and the brew was a cold treat on a hot day. These types of steins (real or otherwise) are not very common here in the stated, at least in my neck of the woods. I was happy to have found it and picked it up. Was there any sort of uptick in reproduction/forged steins and such overseas with the advent of the 100th anniversary?

If anybody can help?...... I would imagine the Rheinheitsgebot law would mean hops barley and water would have made a recipe for German WW1 beer pretty much the same a modern day one. Especially as bottle conditioning is still part of the home brew procedure. Dave Edited 2 August , 2017 by depaor01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1418 Posted 4 August , 2017 Share Posted 4 August , 2017 Hi even reproduction are rather expensive these days so a definite bargain. regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4thGordons Posted 13 August , 2022 Share Posted 13 August , 2022 (edited) While the experts are gathered might I ask about this one? Which I acquired it very recently but I hadn't considered the possibility that it was a reproduction. It appears in excellent condition (perhaps too excellent?) around the rim below the cap it reads "1.Bayerischesluftschifer Battalion. Munchen 1910" it appears to be named to Johann Seemann. Apologies for the pics I will retake them Chris Edited 13 August , 2022 by 4thGordons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depaor01 Posted 13 August , 2022 Share Posted 13 August , 2022 I really like it. Looks good apart from the "erinerung" [sic] with a line over the n. Never seen that in written German. No doubt someone of more authority will be along shortly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The line now belongs to history. Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
