Description
NSDAP Political Leader Gorget By RZM M1/14. This NSDAP Political Leader’s Gorget by RZM M1/14 is an impressive piece of regalia worn by the Standarte Bearer of the NSDAP Political Leaders Organisation. The front of this gorget has a super look, with only minor wear, and a pleasing patina to the smooth bronze colored surfaces. The large central German Third Reich eagle and swastika emblem and the oak leaf border all retain full original detail. The green wool felt backing is in original condition. Both of the hooks on the reverse of the chain are stamped with the RZM logo of the Reichszeugmeisterei, as well as the maker code M1/14, the chain itself being marked to the maker M1/17. It is not unusual to see the gorget shield and the gorget chain on these to have a different maker code. The chain is complete with all of its original, ornate, detailed links. The original darkening in the recesses of the design on the links adds a great look of depth and contrast to the alternating wreathed swastika and eagle emblems. This NSDAP Political Leader’s Gorget is a very attractive example in excellent plus condition. (8221ff) LH10836
