KizmeRD Posted 10 December , 2023 Share Posted 10 December , 2023 (edited) It’s a silver presentation beaker manufactured by Wilhelm Binder (Schwärbisch Gmünd, Bäden-Würtemburg). The engraving identifies it as having an association with Flieger Abteilung (Artillerie) 252 - an artillery spotting unit from Württemburg who operated on the Western Front in support of the German 1st Army from 10 December 1916 through to the end of the war. The engraving lists all the bases that they operated from during 1916-17. MB Edit - how big is it? - If it’s only small then it’s for Schnapps.

KizmeRD Posted 10 December , 2023 Share Posted 10 December , 2023 It’s a really nice object and despite there being absolutely no connection to Richthofen’s Flying Circus - you should be absolutely delighted in owning it. MB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
