Two Midshipmen dirks with two gorgets, Royal Netherlands Navy, late 19th century

The first dirk belonged to Theodoor H.H. Bodele, commissioned as an ensign in 1895. The second belonged to Baron Elisa C.U. Calkoen, who never received a commission and left the naval college in 1888 as a naval cadet, 2nd class

Two trade gorgets dating to the last half of the 18th century/first part of the 19th. Gorgets were popular trade items in colonial America and the number of gorgets signified the rank of the person wearing them.

Giving the new copper gorget for a test spin. The copper gorgets are awesome but my favorite is still shell. #gorgets #chickasawart #chickasaw #nativeart #dustign #coppergorget
