Imperial German Army stein of Reservist Konrad Heinrich of 9. Inft. Regt."Wrede' 5. Comp. Wurzburg 1897 -1899. This 0.5L porcelain stein features a front panel depicting a "9" indicating the Infantry Regiment within the Wurzburg crest. The side panel scenes of visiting frauleins at the local bierhall, training maneuvers and most importantly, confinement in the camp stockade (rare to see this particular scene on a stein, which is why I bought it).
