Found this one yesterday. It is a six foot fireman's pike pole. It is marked "U. S. A. Q. M. C.". I believe this mark is for the US Army Quartermaster Corp. I have seen this mark on many pieces of equipment before but I had not ever seen a QM marked piece of firefighting equipment. It is old and has a wood handle.

My dad is a retired firefighter of 32 years. If you ever want to get rid of this let me know.......I may be interested. Very cool item by the way!

Thanks for the comments fellas. I did not immediately realize it was an Army pole at first. It wasn't until after I bought the pike pole and was loading it into the back of the truck did I realize what the QMC mark was. Sometimes I am just a little bit slow!!

that's a real neat item. I am a retired firefighter and love to see stuff like this. Wondering after enlisting how they became firefighters in the Army back then? were they assigned that position?
