The inside of the cap is unusual as you stated. The eldeweiss looks okay IMO

Hello,
It is not an issue Bergmütze, but rather a privately purchased example made of a material like felt
Thanks

The edelweiss was the badge of the mountain troops:

Thanks for the feedback ...so it is likely an original WW2 period item but just not a regular issue. Am I correct?

Yes, private purchased WWII era cap as stated above. Very nice I might add.

Hi,
This cap is an original period made cap from the maker Hermann Gollhofer / Innsbruck (located in Tyrol / Austria) - i have seen a couple of other caps from this maker. All do have the same traits like this Kind of wool, lining, sweatband, button holes etc.
They appear with trap insignia and also T-badge - most with Edelweiß badge - a friend of mine found one with factory applied SS insignia many years ago from this maker but the cap was so damaged from moths that he kept only the insignia.....
Sweatbands on the caps are sometimes different and some of this caps do have 2 materials used for the lining and some do have only one lining material.
