Interesting spange you got there Mathijs.
Don't know much about the last four but i'm suprised to see the wartime annexation medal on the medal bar.

Good find.

Unusual to see the Sudetenland medal on there,with Swastika intact too....

Looks impressive though, a good link between the 57ers and wartime awards, not strictly (or officially) correct, but i really like it!! -Nigel

Very nice. I like the construction of the tri-fold bars.

Nice Fire Brigade Cross 2nd class complete with ribbon bar, buttonhole and stickpin. A nice little set, if I may say so.

If you want, you can collect the fire service awards from the different states as well as national ones! And the Flood medals also make a great collection!!hint hint!!!!pint.gif -Nigel

Hi Mathijs, look forward to seeing your new pieces, i'm serious about the fire and flood medals, really interesting pieces usually at a reasonable price!! Dont seem to be collected much, a shame i think!! -Nigel

You are correct on these, Nigel. I've come across some nice little sets of these for only a few 10 Euro.
Maybe worth making a side track from my 57ers .

At least you have a healthy addiction , Nigel .... I guess .

One of my new additions are these ... a bunch of 1st & 2nd pattern RK cores. I intend to keep some for study and offer the rest to forum members, if any interest .
