Antique lot of coat of arms buttons/pins/badges that I believe are all from Denmark. All of these items were purchased from a collector who said they were either Danish or German, and that they were fire related. If not fire related, they could be military. Likely the buttons/badges that a fire brigade officer would wear. Lot includes:
- Black button/badge/pin with castle Coat of Arms. Button loops were either added or repaired. About 7/8" wide.
- Antlers (or what I think are antlers). About 2 1/4" wide x 1 1/2" long.
- (3) Star badges. Each about 5/8" wide.
- (2) Buttons with the same Coat of Arms. Each 1/2" wide.
They all came together, so I assume they go together. Nothing has markings.
- 2 metal badges with the same Coat of Arms. The Coat of Arms is a castle with 3 flags at the top, and it appears to be floating. Each are about 1" x 1".
- Button featuring a Coat of Arms of a county in Denmark... just not sure which one! Marked on back C.L. Seifert Kjobenhavn (Copenhagen). About 7/8" wide.
- (2) Metal and felt O or target buttons/badges. Each are about 1" x 3/4".
- Metal target button. About 3/4" wide.
Was told that these buttons had to do with the Gentofte fire brigade.
Antique Gentofte Denmark coat of arms buttons/pins/badges:
- 7/8" button marked C.L. Seifert Kjobenhavn (Copenhagen) on back.
- (2) 1/2" buttons or badges, no markings on back.
- 1" x 1 1/8" piece of metal that, from the looks of it, came off of something else.
- 7/8" black button or badge (or pin) that came to me inside the antlers (or what I think are antlers), so I assume they go together. The button is marked Heimburger on back, but the antlers have no markings. The antlers are 1 7/8" wide x 1 3/8" long.
- 5 antique Denmark fireman / firefighting uniform buttons. They have no markings on front to indicate in what city these were used, but they are all marked C.L. Seifert Kjobenhavn (Copenhagen) on the backs. The 2 largest buttons are about 1" wide, the 2 smaller buttons are about 1/2" wide, and the odd one out is about 7/8" wide.
- 2 vintage Aalborg (Denmark) Brandkorps fireman / firefighting uniform buttons, and a metal piece that has come off of something else. The larger button is about 1" wide, and the smaller button is about 1/2" wide. Both are marked on back C.L. Seifert Kjobenhavn (Copenhagen). The metal piece is about 7/8" wide, and has no markings on back.
- 2 antique Kjobenhavns (Copenhagen) Brandkorps fireman / firefighting uniform buttons. The larger button is about 1" wide, and has some star markings on back. The smaller button is about 1/2" wide, and has no markings on back.
