Gentlemen,

Just picked this little award up today and need your expertise as to it's value and to confirm as to why it was issued. It looks to be a Fireman's 25 year service award. The floor is your's. Many thanks for your help.

Hallo Joel,

its a VOLUNTEER BAVARIAN FIREMANS AWARD FOR 25 YEARS SERVICE, 1922 - 1928 and can be found in Kreigsmetal / Zink gold painted, value in my catalog is given at 30 Euro, but that depends on the desireability of the item.

Right about volunteers, but this is the M1884, awarded into World War One.

Quite nice, unlike the hideous "rabbit dropping" cast iron lozenges of the post-war peiod.

Rick, The quality and weight of this medal supports your response...

Regards,

Joel

Joel,

That thing is built like a tank! I don't collect Fire related items, but, If I did that would be at the top of the list. Beautiful.

Hallo Joel, sorry for the miss-identification, I used Orden & Ehrenzeichen 1800-1945, 2005 - 2006 by Nimmergut as a reference, and not all items are pictured.

But "Eagle-Eye Rick" is on the ball as usual.

Kev, no worries my friend. I appreciate the fact that there were different periods that these were made and of different quality when issued. I thank you again for your input.

Regards,

Joel
