Rare pair of vintage 6913th Electronic Security Squadron glass beer mugs featuring the unit’s Black Cat insignia and “Ready to Fight” motto. The 6913 ESS was a U. Air Force Electronic Security Command unit stationed in Augsburg, West Germany, during the Cold War. Its Black Cat emblem was officially approved in 1980, and the squadron remained active until 1991. An extensive online search found no exact examples of either decorated mug and no other matching pair, making these exceptionally difficult pieces of 6913 ESS unit memorabilia to locate. Both are heavy clear-glass 0.5-liter mugs with multicolor squadron emblems, gold-tone rims, and substantial handles. They are two different glass styles and are being offered together as a coordinated pair. Taller ribbed mug: approximately 7 inches tall. Both are in good used vintage condition with no noted chips or cracks. Each has approximately 25-50% age-related loss to the gold-tone rim decoration. Please inspect all photos closely for the exact condition. An outstanding display pair for collectors of U. Air Force, Electronic Security Command, Cold War intelligence, Augsburg military, or squadron memorabilia. Please see all photos for details. If you would like any additional photos or have any questions, please ask.
