SS gorget

Re: SS gorget
SS Feldgendarmerie wore the same pattern of gorget as the army. The only variations were the Luftwaffe version and those for the Kommandantur, Feldjägerkorps, Bahnhofswache etc.Watchdog wrote:Does anyone know of a SS specific Feldgendarmerie gorget, or are the repro style ones a fantasy item?
The only SS specific gorget issued widely was the one for the Italian SS Feldgendarmerie.

Re: SS gorget
Would that have the Sig runes on it,I picked up an obvious repro one. Never seen one like it I wondered if it had any basis in reality,obviously not! Thanks Dave.
Re: SS gorget
No, the Italian one has the word 'Gendarmeria' on it and the Italian style eagle.Watchdog wrote:Would that have the Sig runes on it,I picked up an obvious repro one. Never seen one like it I wondered if it had any basis in reality,obviously not! Thanks Dave.
The one you have sounds like it is either a fantasy piece, or it's a copy of one of the pre war SS (not Waffen-SS) parade gorgets, possibly for a standrad bearer or somesuch. Do you have a picture?
