Bavarian Reservist Beer Stein – 3rd Field Artillery Regiment “Prinz Regent Luitpold von Bayern,” Fahrer Weidl, Munich 1903–1905

finely painted regimental stein commemorating the service of Driver Weidl with the 3rd Bavarian Field Artillery Regiment “Prince Regent Luitpold of Bavaria,” stationed in Munich, 1903–1905.

The body depicts vivid hand-painted artillery scenes — horse-drawn batteries charging into action, gun crews firing, and soldiers returning to the barracks. Center medallion features the crowned monogram “L” flanked by portraits of King Ludwig III and Prince Regent Luitpold.

Handle lists comrades-in-arms from the same battery. Pewter lid topped with a mounted cavalryman, richly engraved with battle motifs; thumb lift shaped as the Bavarian lion. Interior lithophane shows a soldier with cannon.

A beautiful and historically rich example of early 20th-century Bavarian military craftsmanship — vibrant, detailed, and full of regimental pride.
