Pewter presentation goblets were privately commissioned or unit-sponsored gift pieces. They were not regulated decorations, unlike the Luftwaffe Ehrenpokal, which had a fixed design and an official award procedure. Within the SS and other Party organisations, such cups were given for anniversaries, sporting or shooting success, long service or farewells. They usually carry an engraved dedication naming the recipient and the occasion. Recipient photographs and documents often survive with them, and they are generally classed as non-market personal items. Pewter was a common, inexpensive alternative to silver for this purpose. Kayser of Krefeld was a long-established German pewter maker whose Kayserzinn line, sold from the 1890s, bore a model number in the 4000 series and a relief trademark. Collectors check the base marks, the engraving style and the form of the dedication. SS-Standarte 3 "Der Führer" was raised in Vienna in March 1938 as an SS-Verfügungstruppe regiment, drawing largely on Austrian volunteers. It received its honour title at the 1938 Nuremberg Rally. Its members wore a collar patch with the SS runes and the numeral 3, and a cuff title reading "Der Führer".
