The RZM logo and manufacturer&#8217;s code were stamped into the center tang. The gorget, stamped out of nickle-silver, was 19cm wide by 13.5 cm in height. The chain-link suspension was similar in design to the suspension links of the SS dagger, M-36 in that there were alternating links showing the SS runes and a skull. These were struck on both sides and such chains with devices only on one side are post war copies.<br \/>\nThe center tang on the reverse of the gorget is stamped RZM M1\/128. It may be of interest that a good copy of the gorget was made in the early 1990s with correct mark on the reverse; however the chain was single sided and the chest of the eagle was almost flat, whereas the original gorget eagle presents a bulbous chest.<a href=\"https:\/\/adroystermilitaria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/SS-Gorget1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-308\" src=\"https:\/\/adroystermilitaria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/SS-Gorget1-300x276.jpg\" alt=\"SS Gorget1\" width=\"300\" height=\"276\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adroystermilitaria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/SS-Gorget1-300x276.jpg 300w, https:\/\/adroystermilitaria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/SS-Gorget1-768x708.jpg 768w, https:\/\/adroystermilitaria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/SS-Gorget1-1024x944.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/adroystermilitaria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/SS-Gorget1-293x270.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/adroystermilitaria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/SS-Gorget3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-309\" src=\"https:\/\/adroystermilitaria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/SS-Gorget3-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"SS Gorget3\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adroystermilitaria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/SS-Gorget3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/adroystermilitaria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/SS-Gorget3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/adroystermilitaria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/SS-Gorget3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/adroystermilitaria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/SS-Gorget3-360x270.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/adroystermilitaria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/SS-Gorget2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-310\" src=\"https:\/\/adroystermilitaria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/SS-Gorget2-300x163.jpg\" alt=\"SS Gorget2\" width=\"300\" height=\"163\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adroystermilitaria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/SS-Gorget2-300x163.jpg 300w, https:\/\/adroystermilitaria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/SS-Gorget2-768x417.jpg 768w, https:\/\/adroystermilitaria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/SS-Gorget2-1024x556.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/adroystermilitaria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/SS-Gorget2-498x270.jpg 498w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The SS Standard Bearer&#8217;s Gorget M-38 by Dr. Frank Thayer From its inception, SS standard bearers wore the SA gorget but on September 11, 1938, a new gorget was introduced for SS wear.
