      I'm glad I wasn't the first to say it.

      Did you get this at the same place you got that bad SS cap eagle? Take them back for a refund if you can.

            Thanks for catching that one. I agree, the last edelweiss looks pretty bad. I can't believe that I fell for one like that. To be quite honest, I purchased it for only 15 bucks. Not too big of a loss.
            That Edelweiss is a post war copy. Thanks for calling me on it.

            That was the first Edelweiss I had ever purchased back in the 90's.

            I have gotten smarter. Not by much, but a little smarter.

            Regards,

                  If you search this forum, you should find an old post or two that discusses the five holes/straight stem on original issue and anything else is considered not WWII issue; for future reference.

                  I still think that center flower design is pretty cool looking! I wouldn't mind finding one in mintier condition for one of my hats. Anybody know where I might get one fairly cheap?

                    This Edelweiss is from the German and Austrian Army after 45.

                      This one has cloth backing. I can't check to see if it's maker marked. I like this piece very much.

                      Thanks,
