National Fire Brigade's Union Long Service Medal. Silver (H/M) issue with integral 'Twenty Years' top brooch bar, and 5 x 'Five Years' clasps. Numbered (959)

The medal with feint English silver hallmarks on lower reverse field, for Birmingham '1919'

The combination of clasps represent a Fireman who recorded an impressive 45 service - and almost certainly an award to a Fireman who attained high rank in latter years

The National Fire Brigades Union issued their '20 Years' long service medals between 1910-1920

Further service clasps for each subsequent '5 years' qualifying period were awarded to qualifying firemen

All clasps silver, with reverse slip-over back-straps

The top integral brooch bar marked 'Sterling Silver' and complete with hinged pin & clasp fittings

The number indented on the rim '959' is the unique issue number that can be verified to a named recipient and Fire Brigade on the extant NFBU medal roll
