Stein made by Reinhold Merkelbach "Commemorating my period of Service in Stahlhelm". Stahlhelm, Bund der Frontsoldaten (Steel Helmet, League of Frontline Soldiers) was a paramilitary organisation formed in 1918. It was forceably absorbed into the Nazi machine between 1933 and 1935. Use of the old Imperial flag on this stein indicates the pro- Royalist character of the organisation.
