[Bjorn]

Ok, good!
Sorry Nick, I've just made the order so it looks you still have to search for that kind of badge.
Thanks for your help and good luck finding one for yourself!

Patrick: "Edelweiss" means "noble-white" in German. I've always thought it was a wonderful name for a flower one can find in the mountains

Greetings to all!! Can anybody identify one new metal elewaiss insignia wich I own from yesterday. I'm wondering if it is postwar or tourist replika of GJ insignia? No stamp of any kind and pin attachment. It is painted and style is almost identical to original one. The center of the flower is from the same piece not like the original wich I own.
COuld it be silverplated becouse the material looks a bit darker than the origina one.
At the picture the new painted one is shown alongside with post war BW GJ and original one wich I've started this post with. So any ideas?
