This pattern was designed for WMF by Albert Mayer ca. 1905. Before 1913/14 (WWI) it was known as Modell No. 26; after the war, it was re-introduced as Modell No. 1000. The pattern is also known as "Empire," for its neoclassical style.
WMF introduced a modernized version, also called, "Empire," ca. 2000, which bears little resemblance to the original.

The NIROSTA on the blade refers to the maker of the stainless steel blade: ThyssenKrupp. The name applies only to the blade. The handle is silver plate (90).
