Here's a nice Eickhorn 1212, a tough pattern to find, this piece just in from Germany is in totally untouched condition, I doubt the blade has been pulled more than a couple times, the gilt is 100% and is as thick as treacle.
It's a piece awarded:

To the Best Student for the school-year 1936/37
in the Forestry School of Miltenberg
(from) the State Farming Community of
Bavaria.

Gary, Don't you just hate it when someone goes and scratches up those back scabbard fittings with some sentimental words that don't mean anything to us today?
Ron

to the right people is will always mean something, especially when you can read it.

Very nice example, by the way Miltenberg is a nice place.

Very nice!

It's all about the meaning of the inscription, to be awarded such a beautiful gift as a result of all the hard work he must have put in over that year, thats very special to me.
For me it doesn't get any better.

Thanks guys for all the great comments.
