Good evening gentleman, hope I find you all well. I wonder if anyone out there can translate the dedication on this sword, I can hardly read it! if the picture is not clear enough I will take separate pics of each word.

Sorry for the delay, due to unforeseen commitments. I hope these pictures are clearer, I find this script very difficult. The sword in question is listed in Angolia's book at the top of page 84 as a Weimar period model. The proof mark is the same as a mark in Degen's excellent Eickhorn reference, this being under dress bayonets, top row, second right, the rather well fed rodent in a double oval.
