German Awards - Fire Honorary Cross of the Free State of Bavaria (blue for non-firefighters)

The Fire Brigade Blue Cross of Honour without Coronation was awarded to the unburned for special services in extinguishing the fire. The cross was awarded for distinguished service.
The Bavarian Fire Union established the Fire Service Cross of Honor on September 26, 1925. Coronation crosses were awarded for outstanding services in extinguishing fires. Firefighters and non-firefighters distinguished themselves. For firefighters, crosses with red enamel and red and white ribbon came to the award ceremony. People who did not serve in the fire department received crosses with blue enamel and blue and white ribbon. Beginning in 1932, blue enameled crosses were awarded to firefighters who had served faithfully for at least 41 years. From the age of 50, the cross, established on September 27, 1924, was awarded for 50 years of service. Blue service crosses were awarded on a red and white ribbon. This award was also presented to foreigners. On the cross (end of the crosses) there are silver punches. Or 990, or 935, or 1000.
