Is this a DDR Marine visor?

[Military Trader]

I hate to be so ignorant but I was wondering if this a DDR marine hat?

[iannima]

It looks Bundeswehr to me (or Bundesmarine if that is their official title). The roundel for certain...

Trader:

This definitely NOT a DDR marine visor. The material for the crown & cap band do not look like anything used by the DDR. The early marine visors for NCO ranks did have laquered, Vulkanfiber visors similar to the one in the photo, but those were phased out beginning after 1965. The badge & cockade are West German (or perhaps contemporary German).

I'm not even sure of the badge is correct for a visor hat - it looks like the style used on the Bundeswehr berets.

No NVA/DDR visor. Would also say bundesmarine...

Hi,

I never saw such a visor in the Bundesmarine.

I think that it is phantasy:

A civilian visor with the German cockade and the Bundesmarine beret badge for "Marinesicherungstruppen" (Navy security forces).

Uwe Hat Recht,
The Abzeichen is from the Marinesicherungstruppe, basically Navy personal stationed on land, similar to the Kriegsmarine in WK2...also on board as boarding parties used to search vessels. Normally worn on a Beret.
No idea about the Mütze...
possibly an old civilian maritime cap, dressed up to look cool. Perhaps from a vet of the Marinesicherungstruppe?
any info inside the cap?

This might be a US Navy hat -- the gold buttons on the side have an Eagle perched on an anchor

Quite possible, since the insignia on a US navy cap is attached to a separate elastic band which is then slipped on the hat itself. Any markings in the hat itself? Also, can you also post a picture of the buttons? And are there any eyelets actually built into the cap especially on the crown (top part)? (Not poked into by adding more insignia, but actually sewn or riveted in at time of manufacture)
