Historically speaking, what general would be authorized to wear an early style Bergmütze with the Edelweiss authorized with the war?

and what it would be for you to be an eagle general ?? show me one, and please tell me, why is repro, thanks, greetings

[JoeW]

Here is an example of the pre-1936 style officer quality Police eagle that would perhaps suffice for a general. Notice the three dimensional quality of the eagle on the wreath.



The edelweiss was authorized for wear on police headgear several years after the introduction of the 1936 style eagle. It is not appropriate for wear on an early Bergmutze.

I did not answer the second question because I did not call it a repro. Ok? You did not answer my question either.

You call the cap a Bermütze in the title. Now it is a Feldmütze for a police general. I cannot examine the cap in hand to really say if a repro or original construction. But the insignia on the cap I do not like. The early style police eagle would not be used by the time the Feldmütze was adopted. The edelweiss for police was not applied to dark green cloth and was allowed only for certain units of the police. If the insignia is wrong in my opinion, then I believe the cap is not correct.

I went to see me all the eagles of the police, mine is the most detailed, the Bergmutze should not be judged by 'eagle, but the , cloth and other things, the General was in command in the Austrian Tyrol, and had the right bring edelweiss with green cloth regards sergio

[U-21]

The eagle is detailed on this hat, but it is cantilevered (3d size for example), in general, the eagle of this Bergmutze is crushed and no manufacturer era.
Moreover Bergmutze is almost mint with un'edelweiss that should be added to a headdress with more years of service-wear.

.... this is my vision, this object no for me absolutely.

Sergio, I am sorry but the language differences make it difficult to understand your statement. Your eagle is the most detailed? But the bergmuetze/Feldmuetze should not be judged if the eagle is not proper, but only by the body of the cap?

You write the general was in command of the Austrian Tirol? Do you know his name or is this the story you have? Before the Anschluss in 1938 or after? When you write "in command in the Austrian Tirol", of course you mean the rural police of the Landesgendarmerie Kommando Tirol? But this was commanded by an Oberst, not a general.

[U-21]

Yes is Joe correct, the level should be Oberst.
