Original German WWII Named Deutsches Rotes Kreuz DRK Marked 0.5L Beer Stein - Ceramic with Pewter Lid French Artwork & Posters and CambodiaOriginal Item: One of a Kind. Perhaps no other collectible is so shrouded in myth, misinformation and mistaken identity as German regimental steins. These pieces have been steadily reproduced since the 1960s and most experts agree reproductions far outnumber authentic examples. Yet few buyers other than stein specialists know how to identify the fakes. The majority of authentic German regimental beer steins were produced between about 1890 and 1914.
