Hi Merdock,

Moving left to right, top to bottom ...

- Membership Edelweiss of the Deutscher Alpen Verein German mountain organisation. This is a civilian group of mountaineers, climbing as well as walking

- Jäger armpatch. The same as the Gebirgsjäger, light infantry, but not ment for mountain warfare.

- Gebirgsjäger cap Edelweiss. By the looks of it, late war (1943 - ).

- Normal breast eagle. Seems original to me.

Nice items !
