Yes please, we need details.by TWS
I can see that it's in wonderful condition but not being a hat guy, without
a story, to me it's just another hat. So please fill us in.

myself around.
Guys, thanks. It is technically just another hat, but it is by one of my favorite makers, Wilhelm Wellhausen of Hannover.
Also, it is a true Jaeger (which are rare to find, as most have had an Edelweiss slapped on postwar to become Gebirgsjaeger).
Where I first saw it was in the old Moran book, which came out in 1996, and I have been on the hunt for it for years:
“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”
Better photos are available in this thread:

WOW! Well done, that is one beautiful cap. Definitely worth the wait. Good luck hunting! (Congratulations!)
All good things come to those who are prepared to wait... and wait... for 23 years! Well done!
Cheers,
Steve.
