I'm pretty sure it's real. It came out of a box of bringback stuff from a local vet's family. I've already moved it so my feelings will not be hurt one way or another. Just figured I would post it for others to enjoy and perhaps glean knowledge from for comparison should another one pop up.

I think it's cool. But that is the extent of what I know.

Extremely rare and expensive gorget. Pity the chain is gone, but it is what it is!
Thanks for showing...

There you are buddy! Glad to see you here! The man with balls of steel lol. Everybody in that building was scared to death of that thing. I am very happy with the P35. Should have held out for the tangent but I like later stuff anyways. Need pics of it in it's new home!

Looks very cool, and rare, but I'm unqualified to opine. I can render an opinion on that LZAmt 5 or 6 knife. It looks cool too
It is a 5. I don't think I could ever bring myself to part with this boot knife. I know they're common and compared to the gorget a dime a dozen but this knife just speaks to me.

No problems at all dealing with Clint, worked out a trade with inspection period, absolutely no difficulties!

A gorgeous gorget! It speaks to me! I think collectors are scared because they are involved in a hobby they don't really understand. Something may look good to them, but they may have been burned in the past by well crafted fakes, so they find their solace in COA's and in reference books. They depend on others to authenticate for them.
Its like my metal SS gate shield. It looks good, but everyone is afraid of it. One dealer told me that no such thing was ever made during the TR era. Another dealer wanted 'paper work'. A collector told me that even if its real, it might as well be fake because nobody would ever believe it.
This is the kind of nonsense that permeates our hobby.
