Servus Gebirgsari,

Great woodcarving! I have several others from this woodcarver...will post some photos later.

I picked this carving up at a flea market in Bavaria back in the late 1980's...."For Father"....and on the back "My first [carving] in memory of your service."

I believe this woodcarver is from Oberammergau and these carvings are of WWII Gebirgsjägers but were done post war.

These next three were from a series of 4 carvings....unfortunately, I lost the bid on the forth one. A few minor pieces have broken off, but since I studied under a Bavarian woodcarving master for 6 years, I will be able to fix them easily.
