Hello,

My girlfriend's Steiff bear, which was given to her when she was a child, was recently stolen, and I've been looking to identify its model, so as to find the exact same one.

I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but somebody here might help me to find more information, or point me to a place where I might get some help. I've looked around on the net, but without any luck.

This is a small (around 6 inches / 10 or 12 centimeters) long dark brown bear, on all four, with a white nose. It had the Steiff button and was very sturdy, so I definitely think it was made from Steiff. It's quite similar to their current "polar bear cub" model, except that it is a brown bear. It also looks a bit like this one: http://www.kerrisbundleofbears.com.au/images/products/mohair_bear_cub.JPG , but with a one nose and without the collar.
It was probably manufactured in the late 70's or early 80's, and was then bought in Germany.

Here are two photos of this bear. Sorry for the quality, I never thought I would look for this bear as I would for a missing person.
