I am no expert but to me it seems like the Edelweiss hasn't been on there for a long time. I guess in hands it will be easier to see.

Visor is fine, but Edelweiss appears to have been squeezed in postwar....

Agree with my colleagues.

Hallo OKW44

Hosler of Zwickau is a confirmed one:

but in my opinion the edelweiss was not original to the visor for the following reason:

The space was not enough and consequently the overlap on the frontal badges is very excessive.

However, you can have a sufficiently definitive evidence, if you feel taking it apart and check the condition of the fabric under it.

Best regards

Spacing is wrong,I got this hat mailed home by GI in original hat box.

Thanks guys the all opinions.
But actually I am confused. How you can say for 100% the mountain badge applied postwar? I mean if I would be officer in an artillery unit and got reassignment to mountain unit as artillery officer I would not buy new visor hat just to apply a mountain badge. I dont know how much was a new visor hat on that time but I think was not cheap. Would be more logical just apply the badge.

I tried to make some closest pictures about behind of the badge.
