Gordon Williamson Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 Just arrived with assistance from Stogieman. Just about the best condition one of these I have ever encountered. Made by Maedicke, a well known maker of military accoutrements.
Gordon Williamson Posted April 28, 2010 Author Posted April 28, 2010 Interesting to note the range of colours used on these, from fairly bright silver on the Maedicke to a dull silver grey on its Assmann made brother next to it in this shot.
Scott Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 A fantastic gorget, Gordon. I like your collection - is that a Hungarian gorget on the left?
Gordon Williamson Posted April 28, 2010 Author Posted April 28, 2010 Hi Scott, Yes, its a Hungarian one at left. The rarest one though in my experience is the little Marineküstenpolizei gorget at the bottom.
storage133 Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 Hello Gordon, the condition is really amazing. Looks like "fresh from the vendor", just ready to wear... Can you please post a photo from the rear. Best regards Sto
Gordon Williamson Posted April 28, 2010 Author Posted April 28, 2010 Hi Sto, Here you are. Typical Maedicke with the raised line around the prongs, and the diamond "M" mark. Maedicke gorgets also usually have cloth backing rather than card.
Paul R Posted May 6, 2010 Posted May 6, 2010 That is a beautiful addition to an already most impressive collection!
all1knew Posted May 31, 2010 Posted May 31, 2010 Hello there, Awesome collection! Is the Assman manufactured of the same materials? I wonder why the finish is so dull on that one. William Kramer
