Can someone identify this piece, please?

Thanks in advance!

10 years faithful service in the fire brigade, however the hallmark looks quite odd.

And are those hallmarks on the pin too? or just blunt trauma?

The latter.

Thanks, Paul!

That handshake motif really reminds me of a certain Weimar era veterans society badge.  I can't find a photo right now, but I'll try to post it when I see an example.

Ahhhh, that's it.  The Krieger-Fechtanstalt badge.  OK, it's not as similar as I remembered.  Here is a photo.
