1941 Luftwaffe Fighter Unit Stein “Unteroffz. Korps, Zerstr. Geschwader, 52, 1. F.B.K.”

$450.00

The porcelain half liter stein has an overall height of approximately 5-1/2 inches tall, exclusive of the thumb lift. The stein commemorates service in the Unteroffizier-Korps (Non Commissioned Officer Corps) of Luftwaffe Zerstörergeschwader 52 in 1941 (a “Zerstörergeschwader” was the equivalent of a U.S. Army Air Force Fighter Wing). Zerstörergeschwader 52 was involved in the Battle of Britain and in the defense of the Reich on the western front during the war.  The stein shows very minor wear to a spot on the painted stripe on the handle on the rear, but otherwise the stein is in near mint condition, without chips or cracks. The lid has a dark, uncleaned patina. The base is maker marked with a crown and “J.H.S.”.
