From the article "Pewter Fittings Through the Ages" by John McGregor:
"In 1892, International trade agreements were signed requiring countries exporting goods to mark them with the name of the country of origin. Germany produced a plethora of cheap steins for export, which had pewter fittings of very small dimensions that, I am sure, did not meet the fineness requirements for pewter being sold in Germany."
These types of fittings were used on export steins from 1892 until at least WWI.
The central image on this stein depicts the kneeling figure of St. Hubertus, patron saint of hunters among French and German-speaking peoples of Europe. The crucifix between the antlers of a stag symbolizes the vision that appeared to him at the moment of his epiphany. -TBSL
Translation:
"Fresh drink refreshes the hunter's blood,
is good for other people too."
