Gebirgsjäger officer schirmmütze - Opinions anyone?

[Olav69]

This schirmmütze is for sale, I only have these pictures, what do you think? Good or bad?

[Kreager]

It's an original EM/NCO cap. Someone decided to give it a little upgrade, when who knows. That is one of the smallest caps I've ever seen!!!!

Looks like Admin piping to me.

I agree.

I would not buy that cap, because as Glenn say the piping looks more admin as Gebirgsjäger and the very small size of 53 1/2 is unsellable.
Wait for a better offer.

Cheers,

53 1/2 ?? Just think, all you need for a hat stand is a coffee cup

One of the Von Trapp kids' hat? J

Thank you very much gentlemen
This schirmmütze is for sale through an auction house in Norway called Skanfil auctions. Here is the text of the ad: Officers hat, Gebirgsjäger with edelweiss in front. Production year 1939. Checked by an expert and found to be genuine. Unusual. This so-called expert recently approved an SS helmet and a Luftwaffe dagger (both quite clearly copies), these auctions are now withdrawn .... I do not know who this "expert" is, but I do not trust him at all, so thats why I wanted an independent opinion of this schirmmütze.
Here is the link to the auction: http://www.skanfil.no/LotDetail.aspx?l=LOT/1208792

Thanks again.
