Luftwaffe field police Feldgendarmerie Gorget by RUM

Metal field police Gorget with chain worn by the German Luftwaffe Feldgendarmerie in WW2.

One of the most easily identified pieces of kit of the German Fiedgendarmerie (field police) in WW2 is the goget worn around the neck. The feldgendarmerie gorget was easily seen in the day and night due to the Luftwaffe eagle, scroll and studs being painted in yellow luminous paint so they would glow in the dark.

• Quality 5 piece constructed gorget: base plate, German Luftwaffe eagle, Feldgendarmerie scroll, 2 x studs (1 in each top corner).
• Eagle, Scroll and studs glow in the dark.
• 30" metal link neck chain.
• 2 hooks on the back to clip the gorget onto your tunic.
• Wool felt backing on the back.

This quality field police gorget has all the original features including the luminous glow in the dark paint, as essential safety feature when on check points or traffic control at night.
