History
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 Railway Station Guard (Bahnhofswache) Gorget was introduced in 1941. It has a matt silver-coloured shield and chain, and a dark field-grey scroll. It usually contains a Roman numeral, for the Wehrkreis (Army District), and an Arabic numeral.
