Luftwaffe Division Stein
Not really sure where to put this.
A half liter beer Stein which as far as I can tell, is post war.
Just never seen anything like this before. Saw it at an second hand store and picked it up out of curiosity.
Thoughts anyone? The symbols throw me. Post war active units? Or postwar WW2 veterans association. Or just fantasy?

My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

Hi Michael.
I can't really help, but that star looks like the NATO insignia.

Thanks Will. So leaning towards a post war unit as I suspected.
Pretty neat item. Will go on my shelf of "still in active use" steinslol
UPDATE: I think I found the division

No worries Michael.
It is a real nice piece and I agree it deserves a place there lol.
That's definitely the same Division.
Kind regards,
Will.
Well, since it includes the NATO insignia you can bet it's post war.
1950's or later.
Yes. This division was only active during the 60's and then again in the early 90sby texasuberalles
Given the age and cracking to the glaze I would guess this stein is from the 60s
