Edelweiss Cap badge variants

[Lemm]

Hi,
Would anybody be able to post me the link to an old thread that featured some variations to the Edelweiss cap badge. I have tried all manner of searchs but no luck and I do know that there was such a thread some time back. Thanks.

Nick,
Have you ever seen or heard of an edelweiss metal cap badge stamped F&B. Just purchased one, dont have it yet but will post when it arrives. I found one link to an F&B but no info on it. I thought maybe some of the guys here who collect these items would know a bit more about it than me. Thanks.

Hey Tim,

Yep thats the one...didnt see the L. Mate you are a man of many talents. Didnt know you were into these things as well. Just purchased this one..still in the mail but what do you think.

Hi Phil,

Looks correct IMO. A couple of holes might not be drilled out as much, but it could be an unissued piece. I like it!
