The lid is engraved initials N. The strap on the handle was added to repair the handle about the time the stein was made. The stein is in very good condition for the age.
There is a hairline on the back that was professionally repaired on the outside - perfect not noticeable job. There is another short line on the bottom that is contained. The handle strap gives the handle good strength and is also quite decorative. The lid is in perfect order. It is marked with the pewterer's mark. The mark is almost illegible.These are great conditions for a beer stein that is about 2 5 0 years old. It is standing 9.5 tall to the top of the thumblift, 1L capacity. I guarantee my description and dating.
