Added this to my collection of Gebirgsjager / Mountain Troop Items. This book was presented to Oberkompanieführer Franz Schafzahl when discharged from active service in 1941. 142-page hardcover book with dust cover by Major Manz was published in 1939 by order of the Generalkommando XVIII Alpenkorps by NS-Gauverlag Tirol in Innsbruck. It is a very comprehensive original Third Reich photo documentation about the Mountain Troops.

Located another set of sun / snow goggles for my Gebirgsjager collection. A rarer and harder to find pair I have only seen a couple times. Metal frame with rubber translucent casing tubes to protect ear frames and easier for wear. Brown leather exterior wing glare tabs with red leather interior lined with metal air grommets. Leather stitched and sewn nose bridge as well. Really nice condition. I even found period photo I believe of the glasses in wear on too along with a similar looking pair on the soldier in the white anorak.
