This highly ornate stein has more phrasing than any other stein I've seen ... makes it quite an interesting piece.  From the beautiful cap that reads Es Lebe der Reserveman (Long Live the Reserve Man!), to one of my favorites ... We die Kanonen donnern und säen Tod und Tod (We thunder the cannons and sow death and more death).  Or how about this one ... Das allergrößte kriegesheer kann ohne uns nicht machen (The greatest army in the world cannot fight without us).  Needless to say, Artillery is the "King of Battle" for a reason!  Great mint condition piece with TONS of history - one of the better steins I've had!
