Gary,
I think what T-pionier may be implying in his Thread is that original Krugs should have a capital "L".
If this is the case, I categorically disagree with him. I have handled numerous original Imperial, Reichsheer, and Wehrmacht commemorative Krugs, and just looked at a number for sale on different sites and there is no consistency in the marks. A lot depended on the particular style a specific pottery used.
I did some research on your potter's mark and it appears the mark is for the "Berlin" pottery (as opposed to Meissen, Vienna, Sevres, etc.). I saw a few that I would say are unquestionably original and they had the same small case "l".
There are ONLY two things that might cause me concern (and this is because we haven't seen a good pic yet) and they are 1) the lack of full paint on the Krug (you can see on your picture of the bottom that there is bare stoneware in the center, and, 2) the really brilliant appearance of the silver of the Heer Adler. Both of these could be non-issues, but a better picture of the eagle at an oblique angle may put my concern to rest.
All-in-all, I'm in agreement with those who have commented and my gut says you've got a really nice Krug, with a very desirable motif.
Post a pic if you can of the stenciling and eagle and we may be able to wrap this up for you.
BTW - love that Scheinwerfer Krug nzef
Looking forward to your reply and best regards!
