Fire Brigade Medal

[Guest Darrell]

Hi guys,

I've searched the forums and looked through my books on these medals. The following one is offered for sale by a dealer.

1. According to Angolia, this type has the "not so common" variation suspension hook (thin ring vs. ball type).

2. The case is more square than elongated like a RK case. Is this an accepted version?

3. Swastika looks a little off center (twisted a little counter-clockwise).

Any other comments?

Just to followup,

It appears that Weitze has the same "type" of Ring-Ribbon Loop attachment on one he is selling.

Thanks to all I have PM'd and got some comments. The dealer has offered to send the set to me for inspection BEFORE I spend any dough. A good guy that I have dealt with many times before. I can post some closer and more detailed pictures when it arrives

Received the cased medal today. I'm quite pleased and after close inspection, it is undoubtedly a good representation of the more rare ring loop type suspension type.
