    Portraits with gorgets

    Portrait photos taken at studios from soldiers that wear gorgets are amongst the rarest photos I have seen. As most of these gorgets were allowed to wear on duty only, not many took the opportunity to go to the next photographer and make portraits. However some did.
    Here are mine:

    The gorget: Zugwachabteilung 507



    Another portrait of the same soldier:



    The more common gorget: Feldgendarmerie



    The gorget: Bahnhofswache



    I have several photos of flagbearer gorgets but no studio portrait. I think these were only worn at swearing in ceremonies and parades.
    Anybody have a studio portrait with the ( Fahnenträger Ringkragen ) flagbearer Gorget ?

    Let me see Yours.

    Regards

    Gorget portraits

    Hello Robert,

    Rare and excellent photos as always. Thanks for sharing.

    Have you ever seen a portrait of a Heer Standardbearer with his gorget? Or for that matter, have you ever seen one without the gorget either (but showing the Fahnenträger patch)?
