Ron Heiligenstein, collector, writer and lecturer, this carefully documented reference book is considered to be the definitive text on the subject of regimental beer steins. This is the first comprehensive book in over eighteen years exclusively devoted to the subject of regimental beer steins and the period when they were produced. I have devoted two years to this project, and based on the feed-back that I have received, the effort was entirely justified.
