Bavarian Reservist Beer Stein – 2nd Field Artillery Regiment “Prinz Luitpold,” 3rd Battery, Munich, 1901–1904.

Beautifully hand-painted regimental stein commemorating the service of Gefreiter Fritz Erhard with the 3rd Battery, 2nd Bavarian Field Artillery Regiment “Prinz Luitpold”, stationed in Munich. The front panel depicts a mounted artilleryman charging with sabre against an Alpine backdrop; side scenes show cannon drill, barracks life, and farewells in vibrant colors. Pewter lid features a sculpted horse and soldier, Bavarian crest reliefs, and the traditional toast “Mein Trost in trüben Stunden – Das hübsche Mäd’l aus Bayernland.”

A fine and expressive example of early 20th-century Bavarian craftsmanship, combining humor, color, and regimental pride.
