Default Be aware Fiber glass military Gorgets

Having just been screwed over on a very very well done fiber glass gorget ,I thought I would make others aware .
They are mounted on wood plaque ,which limits your inspection of the item ,the only real way to tell is with a metal detector. They are very well aged ,
Be forewarned.

I have destroyed mine with a hammer so no one else gets caught out with it , in the trash it's gone.
