    Thanks to the Traveling Museum for sharing this. Never had one posted at GMIC before, and this is the first one I've ever seen.

    I have no idea when this airport military police gorget was authorized, but it appears in a circa 1937 reprint catalog from Assmann & Söhne--so before the war.

    This one, however, was not made by Assmann but by Juncker:

    NO INDEED! It seems that some people, on the basis apparently of "a picture in a book" seeing a badge mark neither they nor we can "explain" leapt to the conclusion that Anything Never Seen Is Bad. :speechless:

    Same mark, two "one-zers." Crickets crickets crickets crickets on ANY OTHERS.

    Guess what? Anything NEVER seen is NOT a mass produced fakaroonie, kids.

    And I've handled enough stuff over the past half century to be confident in my own in-my-paws inspection skills....

    even when I can't "explain" something, either.

    Both items have been in my paws, and Evil Ricky snuffed the other one at our last Traveling Museum get-together, but I'd forgotten this one from my offline years, since 3rd Reich isn't my thing--but where I was 1960s-80s.

    I was just asking. I am relieved at your answer because I really like it and can find no fault. That is why I was going to be scared if it was repro.
