    Hi Eric, welcome to the Forum! Your "Prussian" Fire Dept. Long Svc. Bar is actually Bavarian one and it is in the box for a pin of the Luisen-Bund, a Woman's Aid Organization.

    Slightly different view showing the Scharffenberg mark/stamp on the inner lid lining. Not only the only boxed one I've ever seen, the only miniature bar I ever saw from Saxony!

    Here's my only LS doc, from 1881. I was surprised that it was hand written. Hardly the sort of thing that would be issued im Feld.

    This one is a recent addition from Tony. A Prussian Landwehr but I don't know what period of service it represents. Maybe Tony can help me out.

    Bob,

    I think this is one (probably the second) of two types of Prussian 3rd class award issued between 1825 and 1913 for 9 years of service in the regular army. The Landwehr version is similar, but not the same.

    Like the second (silver for 12 years) and third (gold for 15 years) classes, this style of award was replaced by the round medals (9 and 12 years service) and crosses (15 years service) that are more commonly seen on medal bars from 1913 until 1920.

    Christian shows the second class award in post #4 and Tom shows all three classes in post #7 together with a Landwehr award (centre right).
