Feldgendarmerie gorget

Chaps, has anyone ever seen a Gorget with the circle (looks like a rivet) to the right of the swastika? I’ve never seen this configuration before.
Cheers

Not seen this before on any I have handled.

Thanks Ade,
It’s defo not one I have come across or owned. I can’t see any logic in a faker going to the trouble of putting in an extra rivet that’s going to stick out like a sore thumb and I can’t see any structural advantage. It’s listed as a heavy weight version ??. It’s rough and missing it’s chain, thought it might be worth a punt if it was a rare variant but I’ll let it sit.
