Hi,

As you say, perhaps just a souvenir for a German who stayed on the ship on one of its last peacetime journeys.
In case you haven't spotted it, there's a Wikipedia page for the Queen Mary: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RMS_Queen_Mary" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Hello

You may already have identified that the cup was assayed in Birmingham in 1938-39. FHA & H was a mark used by F H Adams & Holman.
