Uncategorised "Weimar" Bar

[Ralph A]

Here is a bar I've had for some time, and I thought I would share it with you gentlemen.

The most interesting medal on it, to me, is the Weimar Republic firefighter's long service medal, second class, by Paul Schulze & Co, Lübeck (see post 6). That's St. Florian in it's middle, the patron saint of firefighters, chimney sweeps, soapmakers... and drowning victims.

The Lübeck medal ain't bad, either...

Old St Florian Took what he could get didnt he??

Firefighters is a good un, then they said "We still have Soapmakers, Drowning victims and chimney sweeps... Florian, you got here late, YOU take them... thatll teach you!"

Hi,

My favorite Fireman Medal. I like these types of bars; civil servant, court lackie, etc. Not as glamourous as a soldier's, but still very interesting. Thanks for posting.

Regards,

Sam

Hi ralph,

Nice medal bar. For my information, is there an hallmark on the firefighter medal. thanks

Christophe, I'm glad you brought it up. It's the HK that is made by PS&C of L.

The bar is securely under glass, and my memory served me poorly. But here is the hallmark anyway, and a look at St. Florian's un-hallmarked rumpus:

I bet you find that exact stamp on some Ehrenkreuz... it somehow looks like what i would expect on a HK.
