What Are Gorgets and How Important Are They to History?

A gorget was a form of armor initially meant to defend the throat and upper part of the chest of soldiers and knights. Gorgets developed from battlefield utility in the Middle Ages into symbolic badges of rank and power for ceremonial and dress use. By the 18th and 19th centuries, European armies used gorgets as civilian decorations that officers wore.

Gorgets are today cherished by collectors, historical groups, and military personnel. They are valued as a symbol of distinction, ceremonial significance, and heritage protection.
