Our moderator Tales of the Seven Seas posted some pewter with this mark a few years ago. It is a well known pewter company from Germany. Tales should see this thread and provide good info for you soon.

Sorry for the delay gang, I've been away for a few days buying a horse! My tankard is similar, but I'm afraid it is the only one I own and so I don't know much information about it, other than what was previously posted. Here is a link to that post, some of this should apply to your tankard: http://www.antique-shop.com/forums/index.php?topic=5045.msg13896#msg13896 (http://www.antique-shop.com/forums/index.php?topic=5045.msg13896#msg13896)
