Yep - you get it for your first aerial victory.
Im think it's too small for beer - Schnaps would fit better!

Olham at 20cm deep and 10cm wide, it is a hell of a glass for drinking schnapps out of - I wouldn't need more than one jagermeister even in cold weather.

It's a respectful mug isn't it?...the pattern of a Bird of Prey's victory over another....not like a Hawk and a Sparrow. I like that

True, Widowmaker - I guess the aviators themselves had that respect for the others.

Geeze, I thought they had been a lot smaller! Looks better for beer, indeed!

Wonderfully said UKW.
There's a real sense of the fight between equal adversaries.
I also truly believe that the early air war had a lot of instances where chivalry and a sense of fairplay were foremost in the minds of those early pilots.......well..in the Brits at least.. duck..

An original example of one of these Honour Goblets came up on eBay a while back. It reached over $6,000.00 but did not sell. I have no idea what the reserve was set at.
