Luftwaffe Feldgendarmerie Ringkragen (Gorget)
Category:
An excellent and unquestionably original Luftwaffe Feldgendarmerie gorget, worn by members of the German Luftwaffe Military Police during the Second World War.
The gorget is manufactured from magnetic pressed steel and retains its complete original magneticneck chain. The reverse remains untouched, complete with its original backing, attachment clips and suspension hardware.
A particularly attractive feature is the exceptionally well-preserved original luminous radium paint. The Luftwaffe eagle, the "Feldgendarmerie" scroll and both circular luminous discs retain their original, thickly applied radium compound, which still reacts under UV light. The generous application of the luminous paint is characteristic of original wartime manufacture and is becoming increasingly difficult to find in such preserved condition.
The gorget displays honest period wear with a beautiful untouched patina, while retaining excellent overall eye appeal. The silvered finish shows expected service wear consistent with age and wartime use.
A scarce and highly desirable original Luftwaffe Feldgendarmerie gorget, representing one of the rarer variants of German military police insignia.
