It comes with the chin strap, the Wehrmacht eagle and the visor cap edelweiss. The leather sweatband is completely present and in used condition.

The lining is marked 'Deutsche Wertarbeit' on the inside and unit marked '3.Kompanie/Gebirgs-Nachrichten-Abteilung 54' on the back of the leather sweatband.
This abteilung was formed with 3 companies in October 1937 in Standort Oberammergau Hotzendorf-Gebirgsjägerkaserne. The 3.Kompanie was a Gebirgsfunk Kompanie (t(eils).mot).
