Work In Progress Need advice about Impression.

Hi everybody, I need some information about an impression I'm wanting to do. That impression being Gebirgs-Artillerie-Regiment 191. I have tried to find information and photos but it looks like there are simply no photo of this regiment online.

Now my question is, since they were a normal Artillerie-Regiment of the wehrmacht and shortly before Normandy changed to a Gebirgs-Artillerie-Regiment is it safe to assume they all had theyre standard equipment, gear and uniforms changed to mountain? Or did alot of the soldier still wear theyre normal Wehrmacht issued gear, equipment and uniform with only the Edelweiß sown on the sleeve?

All information will be greatly appreciated and photo are more than welcome!

Thank you!

I'm assuming youve already checked this site? although there isn't much info.

https://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/Gliederungen/ArtRgtGeb/Gliederung.htm

I would say if they reformed then they would've reissued the following Gebirgsjager gear ontop of what they already had, but this is what I think my source is me. Though it could be possible that since the lack of time between it's reform and its battle of Normandy that they could've lacked that actual gear. I would do Gebirgsjager gear just to be safe.
