I didn't think you did as you addressed it as a M43 Cap instead of a bergmuetze. The features you want to look for are the cap insignia as shown, the two brown wooden buttons instead of metal and the short bill/visor....if he was turned the other way you would see the edelweiss on the left side of the cap.

Jonathan,
That is one of the things that this forum is all about....learning!!! There is still plenty for us all to learn about. By the way #203 is not a Gebirgsjaeger that is one of the photos I posted. Bill
Here is a recent pickup of a Gebirgsjaeger portrait. Notice he does not have an edelweiss on his bergmuetze but he definitely is one.

Terry,
Some really nice quality Portraits you have...thanks for sharing them with us.
Jonathan,
I wasn't sure what you meant as you only said you should have looked at #203...I interpreted that as you comparing it to be the same as the Gebj cap!! Also nice photos you posted...thanks for sharing them with us as well.
