I have a sword, not sure from what era, that has an inscription on both sides. It's a German-make and on one side reads "Grokh. Heff. Train Bataillon No. 18" and on the other reads "Bur Grinnerung an meine Bienftzeit." It's hard to read the lettering because it is very fancy script. If anyone has any information on what the Grokh. Heff. Train Bataillon is or what the inscriptions actually mean, please be of help. Thanks.

I've posted this question on a Google Groups thign, and I've gotten somewhat of a response...

The actual lettering is "Zur grinnerung an meine bienftzeit." It means "Remember Our Service." It's apparently a saber given as a retirement present to a German army Captain. That's as far as my information goes.

No pics Must be a nice lookin' one.

Oh, crap, forgot to repost with the pictures..
