• Medalbook.com/: German Army Regimental Standard Bearer Gorget. Gorgets in the army showed a special function, and thus were only worn when on duty and when performing said function. With the exception of the Regimental Standard Bearer’s Gorget and the Feldherrnhalle Gorget, all gorgets of the army have a luminous paint finish so that they could be seen in the dark. The NS design of the Regimental Standard Bearer (Regiments-Standartenträger) Gorget was introduced on August 4, 1936. It was only worn by NCOs. The shield is silver-coloured with bronze-coloured design details and a bronze-coloured chain.
