Luftwaffe Standard flag Bearer's Gorget
This is a WW2, kidney-shaped, convex, silvered Gorget; sort-of an identification plate worn around the neck, that the soldier in the German Airforce (Luftwaffe) would wear if their job was carrying the Regimental Standarte or flag. These were introduced 1936 and various branches of government services back then had their own, unique, standard bearers Gorgets.
The Luftwaffe eagle on crossed battalion standards motif is separately attached which I tried to show in one of the photos. The back is covered in a blue/grey wool material one corner of which (shown) is loose from the glue giving way over the years. The chain has thirty two links.The central hook in the back is marked Assmann which, from what Ive read on the web, shouldve been marked Junker which is why Im categorizing this as post war made. That said, I honestly dont know. PS: The Ron Paul pin doesnt come with it. The item "Luftwaffe Standard flag Bearer's Gorget" is in sale since Wednesday, May 10, 2017.
