Hallo 'Strassburger' / Pascal !

Congratulations & Thanks for posting your TeNo Gorget !

This gorget is a seldom seen gorget & it is quite a pleasure to see it & to be able to examine it.

The construction follows what is known from the TR historical record for the TN Gorget:

• Domed 'heart shaped' construction with rebated edge;
• 15 cogs for the central roundel;
• 9 cogs for the 2 corner post roundels;
• 8 rays for the central star;
• White leather circle for the central element backing;
• Central TeNo 'red enamel pin' for the center element;
• Link chain type neck support;

[*] Metal type used - the original TeNo regulations specified Nickle-Silver as the metal for construction.

From your foto, it does look like Nickle-Silver to my eye, but only you can determine if it is constructed of

Nickle-Silver, or if it is made of Aluminum?

[*] The Regs. also specified the use of a Nickle-Silver chain for this gorget ...

Reverse: Is quite fascinating to see. Since the gorget is a definite Domed type - I had imagined that the

reverse would also be Domed. But, the reverse foto looks to be Flat, to my eyes? "IF" this is indeed

correct - then a 2nd metal piece would need to be attached to the reverse to make it Flat.

QUESTION: ?? Does the Reverse of the Gorget follow the DOME shape? Or, is it a FLAT surface?

[i am not able to determine this aspect when I study the fotos. Thanks!

Many Thanks for sharing your SUPER TeNo Gorget with us! ... Dave / dblmed

Hello Dave,

Think it's domed and nickel silver IMO

but unfortunately it's not mine...

Hi TeNo fans !

perhaps not the right place but what's your opinion about this gorget

Original (think so but can be wrong)?

Thanks

Pascal.

Here with a nice Flieger-HJ cap.

Here is the back, with M5/8 makers mark. Any ideas on this maker?

Hello Pat,

your button is indeed ? SS VT or a Allg. SS sidecap front button, but unfortunately also a fake (M5/8 is for Assmann)
