Legend has it that many years ago, a mischievous elf hid a pickle ornament deep within a town’s towering Christmas tree. On Christmas Eve, families gathered in the town square where the festive tree stood. Excitement filled the air as children eagerly scanned the branches, searching for the elusive Weihnachtsgurke. The fortunate finder, with eyes gleaming in delight, was bestowed with the honour of leading the community in a spirited rendition of a holiday carol. Modern stories tell a different tale, of children searching for the festive cucumber on Christmas morning and the winner receiving a special prize or the honour of opening the first present of the day. The tradition of the Christmas pickle is a whimsical affair, that adds an element of playful competition to the holiday season. This is ‘Weihnachtsgurke’.

Be the one to take the Specht Christmas Weihnachtsgurke home and you could share in that luck, with Mossburg Green Powder Coat, a deep shade of green with brass speckle that ties in elegantly with Brass highlights.
