Title St Johann volunteer fire brigade medal
Nationality German
Period c 1880
Price £75.00

This medal, struck in silver, with the rose of Lippe borne on a shield under a municipal crown, was issued for 15 years' service, indicated by the 15 between the words 'Treue' and 'Jahrige'. Lippe is a small state near the Danish border and presumably St Johann is a town within Lippe.

The condition is VF plus, although there is no ribbon.

19th century German fire brigade medals rarely surface in the UK.

testimonials

I wanted to thank you for the perfect service that you did selling and packing the swords. Everything worked perfect. At the airport I had no troubles at all, the airline took the package without been astonished at all.

You worked your magic again. The knife arrived this afternoon without any problem. [My husband] is quite delighted with it.
