Hello.
This WW2 SS Gebirgsjäger edelweiss badge is for sale.
After my search in the forum here,found not a similar, I believe is not original.
Can a forum member with more experience like me confirm this?
Thanks, as always, every opinion and comment is welcome.
Regards, Jannis.

I will send the task to Delich, too.

I do not collect Waffen SS insignia.

You can also look in the Beaver Bando book, as well.

Delich says:

"the Edelweiss badge is made rather
crudely, and do not believe it tot be authentic. The pictures you (i.e. FB) have provided
are very accurate to the true picture for this piece."

That is, the original post piece does not pass muster with the most prominent collector of SS regalia in the solar system.

If in future, you want our help, please join the site. If you want real insignia, go to Whammond or Telesmanich, from whom I borrowed the images. Also Stiles and Jenkins, and so forth.

I got this with another item some years back ( I don't set out to collect SS anything really ) but I was told it is original.

The forum has a veritable mine of experienced collectors who REALLY know their stuff..... ALWAYS research and ask before purchasing...

Sorry to disappoint you, but Delich is the world's most eminent SS collector, and especially SS insignia.

I pointed out where authentic badges of this type are for sale at the moment.

Good luck.

Hello.
I'm not disappointed, the opposite.
I am a new collector in this area and am in the learning phase.
Did my search in the forum here and in web and I was of the opinion that the badge was not good.
You have confirmed it to me and for that I thank you.
Sorry for my bad english.
Regards, Jannis.
