WW2 Hungarian Military Police Gorget

This WW2 Hungarian Gorget – Tabori Biztonsag is a rare Hungarian military police gorget. It is a textbook original. It’s made of aluminum, and features a beautifully detailed royal Hungrian coat of arms, flanked by oak leaf clusters. Below this device is a banner with the wording “Tabori Biztonsag,” literally “field security” or “camp security,” denoting military police. Both the coat of arms and banner are separate pieces that have been riveted on. The surfaces are clean, with a very light patina and some scattered marks from wear and handling. The banner has great contrast, with lots of original darkening to the recesses between the raised letters.The reverse has no backing cloth, which is how all of this type were made and issued. There is some built up age patina as well as remains of an adhesive label. The serial number is neatly stamped on the reverse. The three correct style aluminum hooks are all intact, and show some wear from use. The original, removable steel chain is still present, with no condition issues. The Hungarian Gorget – Tabori Biztonsag is a hard piece to find; this is one of the few surviving originals.
