Chris Boonzaier Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 We read the Austrians awarded the Edelweiss to the Alpenkorps, and 15 000 (I think it was 15) were ordered... It only struck me recently... how likely was it that these were not ordered in Austria but In Germany? We seldom see an Alpenkorps Soldier wearing an Austrian one and although we see a number of Variations the standard one seems to be the 6 pollen one, which in turn is the standard Deschler one? Can we assume the initial ones were ordered in Bavaria? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz die Spinne Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 It was remarked that one of my DÖAV looks like its pollen tooling was played with so the Abzeichen would not have the initials on it. Examples far right, top/bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
