lofty,
that is a possibility but. comparing your 'australian one ' with the 'denmark one ' well, there realy is no comparison.seeing your pics only confirms something that i have thought all along. i think that the 'Ausie ' stein, because it is so ornate compared with your 'denmark' mug may have been for Officers. this is why i asked in my earlier post about the closing of a mess. as this seems to me to be the sort of thing that any surplus funds might have been used for.
I remember seeing a stein like that from Lemgo. When A Coy went to Australia May/June 1982 (Falklands was on). An Aussie Coy came to Lemgo, perhaps one of them took it back with them,Quote:

i have gone as far as i can. i hope my input has been useful. so good luck with your search and if you find anything more i would be interested. but if you dont then just enjoy what is a nice piece.

Morning Ivor,
Yes your input has been welcome and appreciated, i will drop RHQ a line and see what they might know about it, and again many thanks
Ivor,
The stein has arrived and looks rather stunning (lots better than the pictures)
I have been in touch with RHQ and they are pretty sure that there records do not go back that far, a shame really but as you said in your previous thread "just enjoy what is a nice piece".
