Ralph A Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) 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...

Chris Boonzaier Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 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!"

sambolini Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deruelle Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Hi ralph, Nice medal bar. For my information, is there an hallmark on the firefighter medal. thanks Christophe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph A Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) 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: Edited January 19, 2013 by Ralph A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Boonzaier Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I bet you find that exact stamp on some Ehrenkreuz... it somehow looks like what i would expect on a HK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
