Description
A collection of 168 breast badges, known as ‘pucelles’, made of brass-plated, silver-plated and enamelled metal. This collection is notable for its unusual items relating to the security of institutions and businesses. It includes, in particular, a series of badges from the Banque de France fire service, as well as a badge from the famous French fire extinguisher manufacturer Sicli. It also features a collection of badges from fire service brass bands, as well as a fine set tracing the variations of the Seine-et-Marne Departmental Fire Service Union (UDSP 77). Generally in good condition, with normal signs of wear and tear. Many of the badges are glued to their backing. Provenance: The Albert Giraud Collection, considered to be the largest collection of fire service badges in France (formerly housed in the museum at Saint-Vincent-sur-Graon).
