WH (Heer) Mountain Trooper's Cap Badge (Mützen Abzeichen für Gebirgsjäger). On 2 May 1939 the 'Oberkommando des Heeres' authorized wear of a distinctive 'Edelweiß' tradition badge for Mountain Troop personnel and the design of the badge was based on a pattern worn by German Alpine troops in World War 1. This is a magnetic type cap-badge for wear on the left side of the mountain cap. The badge is showing the famous 'Edelweiß' flower. The badge is nicely maker marked with 'G.B.42' indicating production by the company of 'Gustav Brehmer' from Markneukirchen. Nice example in very good condition!
