Established in 1935, the staffing and organization of a SS-Streifendienst (Patrol Service) was one of the powers afforded to the Gruppenfuehrer or Obergruppenfuehrer in charge of an Oberabschnitt (Senior District). Hand picked from his most trusted men, the Streifendienst served as a flexible security force not unlike the Feldgendarmerie, specifically for situations where SS Men and Officers would need to be directed and controlled, such as Party rallies, parades, and similar activities. Measuring 8 1/4 inches wide, the gorget is finished in nickel, with an aged "SS" badge in the center, gilt buttons in the corners, and a gilt "STREIFENDIENST" ribbon beneath the badge. The back is faced with black cloth, with the buttonhole hook stamped "140", "SS", and "RZ/M".

Very fine, with some light flaking of the nickel and minor handling marks overall. A small dent is present on the edge of the upper left corner. The cloth is loose, and the chain is absent.
