• Text in lower case (e.g. "lift off"): Y12

When ordering, specify the required inscription in plain text in
addition to the order number and order code. In the case of spe-
cial inscriptions with words in languages other than German,
give the exact spelling and specify the language (see ordering

you can also specify the end-of-line division.
