As a sideline I like to collect anything Edelweiss, here is my updated collection.
The marked GJ badges are GB40, GB41, and KB42. There is also a three pronged badge.
The SA/Hochland badge is marked M1/159
Hope you like them

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

Nick,
That's an interesting collection and an attractive one as well. I had no idea there were so many different types and styles, they make for a really nice display.
Do you get them from militaria dealers or Interflora? (Someone had to ask!)
Looking for LDO marked EK2s and items relating to U-406.....
