A striking commemorative issue from Deutsche Bundespost Berlin, released in 1976 to celebrate 125 years of the Berlin Fire Brigade (1851–1976). The design features the historic Berlin Bear emblem, framed by crossed firefighter axes and a ceremonial crown, set against a deep navy panel with a bold red border. Printed in vivid typography, the “50” denomination stands prominently at the base. This stamp is admired by collectors for its sharp heraldic imagery, crisp color contrast, and its role in documenting Berlin’s civic institutions during the Cold War period.
