    GBJ or Admin officer's visor cap?

    I acquired this cap at a recent online auction, for not much money, It's undoubtedly a salty cap, but I think it displays well.
    The piping may be a bit dark for GBJ, but appears to be too light for admin. If the consensus is admin, could not an Beamte official assigned to the GbJ be entitled to wear the edelweiss, as seen with artilley, engineers, signals, etc,? Or, did only "combat" troops do so?
    Thanks to Karl S for the photos,

        No doubt admin. You can see the marks where the eagle was before being moved higher. J

            No doubt, indeed Heeresverwaltung (HV) which is Admin.
            If it does not fit your collection , I would be interested in it for my HV waffenrock display, but only at a salty price
            w/o Edelweiss of course!

                HV for sure .
                A Beamte in the Mountain branch has its own piping and the Edelweiss .
                But on this one , the eagle has been moved to the top to make space
                for the Edelweiss !
                And has been "restored" to the cap as well ...

                  It is a legit combination but impossible to prove if it's been like that since the war...Most likely embelished!
                  Administrative officers would be entitled to the GJ visor cap devise as well as the GJ sleeve patch if their unit was a GJ unit.

                  Note Admin officer's Mountain cap without officers silver crown piping, which is correct! (in other words its not an M43)
                  This administrative officer would otherwise have worn your visor cap, exactly as presented, so Admin green + edelweiss!
