    Gwar: looks okay to me. If you have a chance to have
    a look at it before bying, do feel the "eye" where the
    chains is being attached. Does if feel sharp, then it is
    practically always a fake. At the reverse you can feel
    12 prongs. Fakes often do have the metal tang at the
    back for positioning the gorget into a button-hole
    and the lower tip of the big swastika is over the edge.

    It is a pity it is heavily polished. Normally the tone is
    somewhat matt.

    From my gorget-book, where I do show one which
    still has the official seal attached:

    Not polished after the assembly or there would be some clouding in the sharp recesses. Must have been dohe before the script and badges were placed and before the backing added.
    Maybe there is a polished version as well as a matt one?

    Sorry Gwar, I made a mistake this morning. Maybe I was still sleepy!

    The gorget should be polished all over. I had overseen what I wrote in
    my book, as well what was said in the 1939-handbook for the RAD:
    All over the gorget was "hochglänzend poliert". There is NO matte version!

    It appears to be identical to one I bought from a vet years ago.

    Gwar, good luck with this one, it's a real beauty in amazing condition. Hope it works out for you. Bob
