Hi All,

Gorgets are not really my area of expertise but thought I will build it in to my RAD daggers collection. Do you think it is all correct/ period made?

I am not expert on gorgets, but i can tell you, i have never seen such pattern like this. Which could mean nothing, but i myself don't pay much money for this one. Inscription arbeit adelt look quite iffy to me. Look at pictures as should RAD gorgets look.

Best, Lukas.

I think it is generally recognised that such gorgets with enamel badges are repros.

However from what I heard from militarynut this is not correct and the gorget seams to be legit. Any other opinions guys - I am all puzzled here...

Same opinion, enameled is no good. Also look at the inscription Arbeit adelt...very poor details, another red flag.

The enameled one is no good. Look at those large crude button hole fingers on the reverse.
