[QUOTE="David Askett, post: 246751, member: 4727"]Earlier today, I found this glass stein. I can understand a little bit of the inscription but my research now seems to have reached a standstill. I'm hoping my fellow forum members may be able to help. For the inscription on top of the lid, translating as best I can, I believe it has the crest of Wurttemberg, with its motto "Fearless and True". I do not understand the line above the crest, but it seems to be something about Wurtemmberg being good. Below that, the name Otto Pfund, and then "Soldier in 20th (2nd Wurttemberg) Uhlans "King William I" Regiment. Then, after that, is something I can't understand at all. The inscription ends with "In Ludwigsburg 1883". The crest on the inside of the lid with the crossed keys is another mystery to me. If anyone can explain the meanings of the bits of inscription that I don't understand, or recognizes the crest inside the lid, I would be grateful if you would share the information. Thanks!
