Glazed ceramic Reichswehr Christmas commemorative beer stein for the 3. Kompanie, Bayerische Kraftfahr-Abteilung 7, dated "Weihnachten 1926." The front features a transfer-printed and hand-colored design depicting a tracked armored vehicle beneath an aircraft, enclosed within a laurel wreath accented by Bavarian blue-and-white ribbons and a propeller motif, reflecting the unit's mechanized role during the interwar period. The stein retains its original hinged pewter lid and is impressed with a 0.5-liter capacity mark. The ceramic body remains in very good condition with light handling wear, minor glaze wear to the base, and a naturally aged pewter lid displaying an interior maker's touchmark. Measures 6.5" tall, 4" wide and 6" deep including handle. BP/RC
