Piping: "Green" color for Gebirgsjäger troops
Insignia: Machine-woven officer's cap eagle and wreath badge. The correct type of insignia for this cap. Period time attached by hand.

Lining: Fine silk lining with intact celluloid diamond. Signs of wear. Some stains. "Record" marked. 
Visor: Soft leather

Markings: EREL SONDERKLASSE (lining). EREL PATENT STIRNSCHUTZ (sweat-band)
