Aloha, been away along time.
Gat a question.
My Uncle was in the Gebirgsjäger pionier Batt 82 in WW2. Regretfully he was KIA during Operation Barbarossa in 1941 just outside Murmansk.
My mother received his Bergmutze. Unfortunately is has been lost to history. I did remove the cap eagle insignia, the roundel, and the Edelweiss early on.
My uncle entered the service in 1938. I have seen many variations of the eagle insignia, however nothing like the one he had. His was the insignia separate from the roundel.
also his Bergmutze was blue grey in color; I have been looking for a replacement cap. I am settling for a good reproduction.
Can anyone thel me about the original cap and the insignia?
Regards
Bill
