Organisational Badges Edelweiss

[BURGERHAUS]

Gents For the life of me I cannot discern quite how to affix this bugger onto a cap or uniform. I really do not know where it belongs. Perhaps in the bin? Thank You Robert

On a cap/hat it is worn over the left ear, but it was also worn by Bavarian units on the (right) collar (tab).

This is NOT the type of Edelweiss worn by the Gebirgsjäger (Mountain troops) but by the SA, HJ, RAD, and other uniformed organisations.

Please note that this badge has been used from the beginning of the 20th century until now, without much change in the design or material.

It is sewn on with a few stitches in 4 or 5 places.

Hallo,

Take a look at this:

Hope it helps?

Thank you both for the help. What I can't discern is where the thread to attach it would go as there are no holes to be found on it for the thread to go thru.

As the design leaves no space for holes, the stem and branches are fastened/sewn on with (white) linnen/cotton.
