I sometimes see these at shows.
The edelweiss seems to always be the field gray type,
that was available from certain dealers in bundles of 10
tied together back in the '80's.
I always had my doubts about them, never getting one with
(real) wear, and never one from various GJ lots I've purchased over
many years.
Having said that, I doubt these examples with various waffenfarbe piping
are not original wartime done.
Not something I'd add to my collection!

Army Mountain Troop Badge

Thanks for the comments. I bought this badge as part of a lot. I was interested in other things in the lot. I was just not sure about this item, so I appreciate the feedback.

I would like the see these in period photos before I would believe they were made during the War. I have seen Jager badges with piping like this and also Jager and GJ patches with officers silver braid around them like that found on officers overseas caps.
