N017192 DRKB/NS-RKB FLAGBEARER'S GORGET. (Ringkragen) 

This flag-bearer’s gorget was the second pattern used by the "Deutscher Reichskriegerbund" (German State-veteran’s-association). The half-moon-shaped, convex, polished aluminum plate has a raised lip edge and a maximum width of 17cm. Its gilt-plated centerpiece consists of partly furled flags to either side of an open-topped oak leaf wreath. The two flags to the left represent those from the first war, as determined by their imperial crowns and "FR" monograms, whereas the two to the right represent Reichskriegerbund flags, evident by their Iron Cross and swastika motifs. Within the oak leaf wreath is the shield-shaped emblem of the NS-RKB (Nationalsozialistische Reichskriegerbund). Comprised entirely of enamel, it features a red background to a black Iron Cross, edged in white, with, to its center, a white disk within which is a black mobile swastika. Gilt-plated buttons are to each upper corner. To the reverse is a very dark blue wool backing through which can be felt the screw mount for the NS-RKB shield and the screw mounts and bent-over tabs for the centerpiece. A chain hanger is mounted to the reverse of each of the buttons, the one to the right having a descending tang with the number "1" stamped to it. Nice complete example.
