This Political Leader's gorget
still has a fresh appearance throughout the breastplate and the
neck chain. In fact, if this gorget had an accompanying issue box
it would look normal, as that is the condition this item is in.
The breastplate is a beauty having full 100% original bronze finish
throughout its non-magnetic surfaces. It is a full 9-inches wide
at the top and is a crescent shape. The edges of the gorget have
a raised out overlapping oak leaf design. In the center is a large
7-inch wide open winged eagle which looks to the right and clutches
a fine wreathed raised out swastika. The reverse of the breastplate
has two tabs. One of the tabs is marked, "RZM M1/102". This RZM
number matches the two which are stamped on the links which connect
the neck chain. This is one of the best, if not the best Political
Leader's gorget I have handled. It is the same as the example shown
in the Deeter Gorget Book on page 128. A great item here for the
fussy collector.
