Found this pipe this morning, can anyone tell me where I can go to find mor info on this. Are these collectible like steins? it's a good size one and it came with two bowls, one of a horse on it the other is the regimental which is dated 1914 on the back, the moth piece has a small imperial button tied on it. Thanks

Fritz,

Yes, you're correct that these are very much like good original reservist's drinking steins in that some are quite desireable and collectable. I can't give you many specifics in great detail other than certain units are much more in demand than others.

I was speaking to a German friend recently who found a rare, complete Jäger pipe that he was quite keen on and paid near $500 for. This one looks in very fine condition with all the bells and whistles - do your homework if you decide to sell it. If you got it for a fair price I'd keep it around for a while ... it's a nice decorative piece for the finest of any type of collection.

Best!
