    Luft & Heer Gorget

    I have a Luftwaffe and a Heer Feldgendarmerie gorget that I would like to have someone comment on.
    Even though I have seen period pictures of Luft gorgets, I've never seen one in real life.
    Is this one any good?
    The Heer gorget looks OK, but I haven't seen one with these style clips on the back. Maybe a maker that I am not familiar with???
    Thanx,
    Tim

            The Luftwaffe gorget is a repro: the metal, the sketchy lettering, the poorly detailed scroll, the eagle, the felt backing, the shape of the backing clips are the major telltale signs. It was not a registered pattern and I wonder who would be the title holder of DRGM, among other things.
            The Army gorget is a specimen by Motz , manufacturing details being typical of this maker. Motz produced buttons and insignia as well.

              Corrigendum: as it has been brought to my attention, the maker's logo indicates Maedicke, not Motz.

                  If you haven't already, I would recommend also posting these to the Heer and maybe the one to the Luft. forums for some qualified / more comments. I know there are gorget collectors also here with these examples posted in the past but its been a little quiet on these.
