Chris Boonzaier Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 These should be of interest as a sideline... the Edelweiss in WW1, before it became a tradition badge.http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=19064 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev in Deva Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Hallo Gentlemen, Some very nice badges presented here as well as pictures of them in wear.I was told that the German organisation D.A.V. http://www.alpenverein.de/was originaly founded by ex-members of the Gebirgsjager Korps.I attach a picture of a 40 year membership badge, made by C. POELLATH, SCROBENHAUSEN:Its 30mm in diameter.Kevin in Deva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccj Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Share your pictures showing the small Edelweiss worn on the visor cap by the Mountain troops.What is most interesting is the presence of holes in the fabric where the eagle used to be before he added the edelweiss. Who would buy that cap if offered today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
