Luftwaffe Gorget - Opinions Please

[fredswiss]

I've been offered this Luftwaffe Feldgendarmerie Gorget for $1000 (US) . I'm far from an expert on these and know they have been expertly reproduced so I would appreciate any feedback on originality and price. The photos aren't the best but all I had available was my phone. Thanks in advance for any help.

The back does not have the center prong that is normally seen. Is that an indication of a reproduction?

It's a fake shield IMO, strange eagle etc ..

German police, are you saying a Luftwaffe version of the Feldgendarmerie Gorget never existed? Please advise. Thanks.

[Jos L C]

There're era pictures of the luft shield in wear, so they did exist.

Eagles head (gorget in the last posting) is different from the initial gorget posted. Not an expert with these and just my opinion, but I like the last gorget posted. Eagle is more like the 2nd Luftwaffe pattern eagle.
