Issued in December 1996, this was the first of the dealer gifts which in the mean time are a tradition at Schuco.
Each year, Schuco rewards its top 1,000 dealers with a special Christmas gift in the shape of a gold-plated Piccolo.Usually, 800 pcs come in blister packaging and 200 come in a wooden chest.This is the version in blister packaging and so it is 1 of only 800.
In 1996 the Magirus Fire Truck was chosen to be the Christmas gift.
Naturally, these dealer gifts are very scarce on the "free market" as you can imagine that it takes quite some wheeling & dealing to talk a successful Schuco dealer into parting with his "trophy"!
