Gorgets by Skylarkinfantry – Timeless Military Heritage and Modern Craftsmanship

Gorgets

When it comes to military tradition and ceremonial elegance, gorgets hold a special place in history. At Skylarkinfantry, we are passionate about preserving that heritage through premium-quality gorgets designed for collectors, reenactors, and organizations worldwide. Whether you’re seeking authentic reproductions for historical uniforms, standout pieces for ceremonial use, or durable accessories for display, our handcrafted gorgets represent the perfect blend of tradition, craftsmanship, and style.

The Historical Significance of Gorgets

The gorget originated as a protective element of medieval armor, shielding a soldier’s throat during battle. Over time, as full suits of armor became obsolete, gorgets evolved into symbolic badges of rank and honor. In the 18th and 19th centuries, military officers across Europe, including the British, French, and Prussian armies, wore gorgets as a mark of authority. These pieces often bore regimental insignias or royal crests, transforming from battlefield armor into ceremonial icons.

Skylarkinfantry celebrates this rich heritage by offering gorgets that faithfully reflect their historical origins while meeting modern expectations for durability and finish. Our designs honor classic European military traditions and provide a tangible connection to the past.

Craftsmanship That Sets Skylarkinfantry Apart

Using high-grade metals and precision finishing techniques, we create gorgets that are both visually stunning and built to last. Unlike mass-produced items, Skylarkinfantry gorgets undergo thorough quality checks to ensure consistency and authenticity.

We also prioritize sustainability by using responsible sourcing methods and minimizing waste during production. This commitment to quality and ethics makes Skylarkinfantry a trusted name for gorgets among collectors and institutions.

Caring for Your Gorgets

Proper maintenance preserves the beauty and value of your gorget. We recommend gently wiping the surface with a soft cloth after use to prevent fingerprints and tarnish. For brass or silver finishes, occasional polishing with a non-abrasive metal cleaner will keep your gorget shining. Store your piece in a dry, padded case to protect it from scratches or humidity. Skylarkinfantry provides detailed care instructions with every purchase to ensure your investment lasts a lifetime.
