Political Gorget
Hi All,
Here is my Political Flag Bearer Gorget, one of the biggest made during the period, it is very impressive in hand, as you can see from the photo's this one is in great shape with the perfect amount of wear, matching M/102 RZM 31 link chain also which is a nice bonus, a few nips to the backing but nothing to complain about, looks great with my Orts cap! hope you enjoy
These are great lookers , yours is in good shape with only a few nips on the back-
They really dress up a full uniform-

I have been looking at some different period pictures and these were purely ornamental correct? Why I am asking is I see some soldiers wearing them with steel helmets and other combat gear. Thanks
The gorget served as a sign of special position. One of the most common is the feldgendarmerie gorget worn by field police. It served as a totem of position and authority. Flag beaerers and their honor guard wore them which singled them out as holding a special position in their organization.by nbushyager

If you are interested in gorgets you should buy yourself:
"Ringkragen und Brustschilder im Dritten Reich", written
by me and Andrew Mollo.
The book is large size and has 704 pages. For foreigners there
is one problem: the text is in German. Further it is quite expensive.
In general gorgets exist for flag bearer's and gorgets for those
with a police service.
The chapter about the political leaders gorget has 16 pages
and various pages/photos with gorgets in use.
Horst, great photo and beautiful uniforms, but bandsmen nor others did wear a gorget,These are great lookers , yours is in good shape with only a few nips on the back-

just the flag bearer's and the variation gorget by the Streifendienst.
From the regulation "Die Uniformen der Politischen Leiter der NSDAP",
according order 9/39 from the Hitler-order from April 2, 1939. The
same information was included in "Uniform-Vorschrift für die Politischen
Leiter der NSDAP", also from April 2, 1939.
Wilhelm, thanks I know that but I just love dressing up the uniforms band members or flag bearers.
This way the Gorgets get displayed.

I was convinced you would know and you only did
it for a better look of the uniforms! Great display!
