Hello,
This is considered an original WWII edelweiss. It has been trimmed and is not in its original configuration. This style of edelweiss was issued very late in the war and are seldome seen on tunics.

Hello,
I would add that in theory the embroidered Edelweiss had to be worn on privately purchased tunics only.
Thanks

its original but i dont think its worth much being trimmed like that !!
Hello again,
Mark : sorry i dont remember the references of the official text, but it is said that only BeVo Edelweiss or Oakleaves could be worn on regulation Feldblusen, embroidered ones had to be kept for privately purchased tunics. So to answer your question, the reasoning behind what i wrote is an official text.
Thanks
