Holster and knife sheath makers can salute the fire service with this expertly crafted firefighter swag medallion and the authentic first responder imagery it carries. The detailed relief shows a firefighter in full turnout gear and helmet, gripping a fire hose and ready for action as water streams from the nozzle. The figure stands out prominently against the iconic Maltese cross, the distinctive eight-pointed symbol of the fire service, which stretches all the way to the medallion's edges. The courage and readiness of fire service personnel come through in its realistic proportions and professional detail work. An antique nickel finish lends a durable, service-worn look that matches tactical gear as well as professional equipment.
Leather craftsmen who make holsters and sheaths for a living, along with dedicated hobbyists, can set it seamlessly into any existing #8 rivet or eyelet hole, since a screw post comes integrated on the rear. This hardware works in the same manner as a Chicago screw, locking in a secure attachment that holds up under regular use and demanding conditions. Measuring 1.25 inches (1-1/4") in diameter, it has strong visual impact yet keeps a proper scale on most holster and sheath work.
The raised relief is an authentic portrayal of the fire service, showing a fully equipped firefighter in an active firefighting stance with the traditional fire helmet, the hose and the water stream all clearly visible. Spelled out in bold letters across the bottom, "FIRE" makes the fire service theme easy to identify and recognize at a glance. It excels on fire department holsters, tactical knife sheaths and first responder commemorative pieces that honor the bravery and dedication of the fire service.
Reach for it on custom fire department orders, first responder tribute pieces or any of your leather crafting projects that call for a distinguished fire service identity, as it suits all of them well. The antique nickel plating holds off corrosion, so the medallion stays professional looking through extended use, and in time it develops an authentic patina.
