Heer Gebirgsjäger Officer's Bergmutze

Just landed this lovely Gebirgsjäger Officer's cloth cap today, thought I would post up a few photos
for some 'show and tell'...

I believe the green backed Edelweiss is for Gebirgsjäger troops with an Austrian background.

Hope the photos are OK....

Cheers

The cap goes nicely with this jacket for a Leutnant of Gebirgsjäger Regiment 98.

Just checked Volume 1 of the Bender book on Headgear (Halcomb/Saris), and on page 95 it states:-

" Members of Austrian-originated units as well as by members of the non-Austrian 1st Mountain Division
wore the metal Edelweiss on a green cloth backing"

Can you place it on a mannequin Sir, or try to assemble it so we can see how it looks like in a full uniform photo??

This is the best I can do for now, will add a belt and put it with a bit more Heer related when I re-organize a few things, but it should give a bit of an idea...
