    Here is a neat little piece I picked up about a year ago in a trade. I thought it was interesting but I do not collect Feuerwehr stuff. One day I was looking in the OEK and saw a grainy picture of it (326) and I was surprised at the price tag on it. I have kept my eyes open and have only found one other one. Are there any more here? They were given in 1934-36 so I think that there were not too many given out in such a short period.

    Yes, you got a rare one there. I've been collecting fire awards since 1972, and have only seen one in person, and two on dealer lists.

    It was only issued from 1934 - 36 for 25 years of efficient service. This probably accounts for some of the low numbers, and I believe its size also accounts for bars that were just lost or thrown out. Unlike a nice medal, on a ribbon, most non-recipients or non-collectors don't seem to appreciate these bars.

    Thanks for the nice photo. They are as hard to get as the award itself.

    Do you own one of these? If you want me to I will brake out the new camera and get much better pictures for you. PM me your Email so I can send BIG pictures.

    Sorry to say I don't own one, and can't afford it anyway. The pix you posted are perfect. I've already saved them.

    Thanks
