Why?
Mountain infantry used to wear this type of edelweiss.

This is not a military issue badge.

The Edelweiss is a popular badge design which can be bought as a souvenir in the Alpine Region.

Cheers, Ade.

Thanks. Found in wikipedia that german mountain infantry used a bit different-looking edelweiss. Anyways, thanks.
P.S. and if anyone would see a photo or material with this type of edelweiss, please, pm me .

Again, this is a souvenir item of the type you would buy in the Alpine regions.
