Edelweiss cap and cloth insignia - Good or bad?

[Bjorn]

Hi

What do you think of these Edelweiss cap and cloth insignia?
The cap insignia is marked with "F & B".

Thanks a lot for your help, Nick!!
I'm going to buy them then
These will be my first Edelweiss objects I acquire to my collection. Is it hard in your opinion to find a Funke & Brunninghaus made badge?

Metal cap badge is post WWII.
Originals have a straight stem the one pictured is current type with hooked end on stem.

I love these patches, im thinking on purchasing a fake one and applying it on a black cap that i own, and use it during the summer

Steve, Bundeswehr are totally different, the end of the stem points the opposite way like this;

Ooops need to put my bi-focals on
My mind is not on what I am doing.
My wife would argue that there is a good possibility that I do not have one.
She constantly questions my sanity.
When I tell her what I paid for a German item she will ask "Are You Crazy ?".

Ok, thanks!
It's a really nice collection you've got there, Steve!

To clear things out, this is a WWII cap badge, right?
