The gorget for sale here is a blued plate gorget by knitbee.(appears blued, might be dark stee,l but pretty sure it is blued)
Gorget seen further down in the photos at this link http://www.flickr.com/photos/80694288@N02
It is brand new condition and never used.
Amazing movement and protection!
Moves any direction and plates are cleverly set up with leather so they move wherever you move your head in ANY direction and then automatically 'spring' back' afterwards.
The smoothest gorget movement I have ever seen (or imagined)
And the BEST protection as well
Has sewn in period liner.
One-of-a-kind piece.
Auction will start at $225 and run every 24 hours similar to the buff coat auction.
Size: 6" across including padding
a little over 6" front to back including padding
OUTSIDE circumference 18 1/2", but actually space inside for neck less because the 18 1/2 inches is circumference OUTSIDE padding and metal
inside with, padding, a little over 15" inside circumference (no extra paddign needed-though if ur neck is smaller u coudl add it if u wanted--but the thing can take a base ball bat to the throat as it is...

Re: Auction: Amazing period, articulated plate gorget
Forget auction. The size makes it particular to only a few buyers. Simply make offer.
