See, the i didnt know. Thanks Bill

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.

See, the i didnt know. Thanks Bill

So it looks like a m43 cap but it isnt. Thanks for the pointers Bill, still got loads to learn

Jonathan

PS i should have comapred it to post #203 DOH!!!!

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.

Bill i meant it in terms of comparing the field caps not saying he was a gebrigs trooper

Nice and atmospheric background setting, rolling misty mountains

Decent camo shot, not a very good photographer

I thougth that method of packing was pre-war

Perhaps someone can confirm this.

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.

Here is a small grouping on a Luftwaffe Field Division Uffz. Karl Simons who was KIA 11 May 1943 in the East.
