This unique fire axe has a plain plated axe head with a 5-line jeweler-engraved inscription on the obverse, which translates to “H. Einfeld, for 30 years of service with the volunteer fire department, Co. 2 in Kiel/Wik, 10 January 1927”. Black wooden body shows some wear/age but no cracks or chips and retains most of its original finish. Attached to the grip is the nickel-silver Fire Official’s insignia (helmet with crossed axes beneath). Nickel-silver bottom cap shows only light age and wear. Unique Fire Axe!
