OKW-Feldjägerkorps Pictures?

[stonemint]

The gorgets always seem to be available (at stratospheric prices), but pics of the actual gorget in wear seem to be almost non-existent.

This is supposed to be one in wear, but I cannot tell if he is wearing a Feldgendarmerie gorget vs an FJK gorget.

It makes me wonder how many of the gorgets actually made it to the troops in the field. Are pics of them in wear that scarce?

This is the most common and well-known pic of a Feldjager, here an SS man in Italy. However, only the brassard is worn, no gorget:

I can't make out the scroll on the gorget but the real rarity here is the cuffband, certainly amoung the rarest of all cuffbands.

Interesting--I did not even consider the cuffband. Rarer than the Gorget?

Have you ever seen one for sale or in a collection? Of course, I'm not sure how many of the half dozen or so of Feldjager gorgets that I have seen were genuine (if any).

This Feldjagerkorps gorget is on Gottlieb's auction right now--I assume this is a Deumer (unmarked) piece?:

I cannot get over just how little photographic evidence of the FJK armband/gorget in wear there is.

I did come across this photo of WH & LW FJK on wikipedia, of all things:

Another extremely rare and interesting shot. I would hope that if anyone has shots of Feldjager personnel they might show them on this thread.

Here is another pic of a LW & WH FJK I was sent--both officers:

very nice, and scarce, photographs.
