Heer Gebirgsjäger Edelweiss cap badge

Hi guys,

I have had this for a while, but I really don't know much about it. Is it WWII or post-war?

Thanks,
Mo

Thanks guys! Good thing you told me that Eric! I almost poked it out thinking that it was something stuck in a hole! :/

Grüß Di' Mo,

As everyone else has stated, it is a very nice unissued Gebirgsjäger cap Edelweiß. Here's a pic showing the differences between a WWII Gebirgsjäger Edelweiß and a post-war Bundeswehr Gebirgsjäger Edelweiß:



Es war ein Edelweiß...
