Re: Need help on KM trade badges....
Looks a good score, nothing leaps out as special except the oakleafs which are probably Jager cap insignia.

Whatever
its just an opinion.

Re: Need help on KM trade badges....
Hey Jerry! Thanks man! Yes...I didn't think the oakleafs were KM....what were the oakleafs for? Jager cap...is that mountain troops or am I getting confused with the Edelweiss? What did the oakleafs represent?
Thanks!

Re: Need help on KM trade badges....
HI Rob,
The oakleaf is a symbol of strength and it is also the tree of zeus and thor who are both gods of thunder.
The oak tree also is a symbol of nobility and the Germans were all about symbolism.

Re: Need help on KM trade badges....
Thanks Dan! I knew the oak tree was a strong tree. Great to learn more about the symbolism behind it. Do you know what the oakleaf badge was used for though? Was it mountain infantry troops that used these?
Thanks again!

Hello Rob,
Gebirgsjäger used a metal Edelweiss for their Bergmütze and a cloth Edelweiss arm insignia, oakleaves badge was used within Jäger units...also in conjonction with an arm cloth insignia representing oakleaves.
