SS/SA Kornet Gorget

[wizardman]

If an SS/SA Kornet Gorget is marked DRGM does that make it a fake?? Wittman Militaria are selling one with DRGM,but i read it should have RZM not the DRGM...i myself have a really early one marked DRGM ill post some pics of mine soon

The part with the DRGM is to wide. A well known fake. I looked at one like this at the SOS. It looks nice from the front but the wide attachment bar is a dead give away.

Its so hard and annoying when so many places sell what they say are legit pieces,and they are big militaria stores with reputations..thats why its good here,no vested interests and high knowledge base
