Hugh Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I got this many years ago from an old German who had moved to the US shortly after WW II. Together with my 50 year old Langenscheidt, I make it out as a service pin for the Prussian Republic's Fire Service. Are we talking the Weimar era?

Guest Rick Research Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Yup. Awarded from 1926 into 1933, mainly for 25 years service. Undervalued in my opinion, given how long other models were awarded. But it just can't compete with that over the top flaming swastika cross 2 models later.

Guest WAR LORD Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Thanks, Rick the Unfailing, any thoughts on selling price?Rick is quite correct, much under estimated. These are not common, but unfortunatly fetch around ?25.00, thats if you can find a buyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
