I'm posting a link to a thead of the same name I've created over on Warrelics combining a few posts made by Akira Komiya on the topic.  We have several of these posted here and there at NMB, but this one gathers the three into one discussion.  The essence is that the top graduates of Army and Navy schools were given swords, dirks, and watches inscribed with "Imperial Gift".  Akira-san explains the practice and examples are posted.
