Imperial Hat ID Help

Just picked this up today but not sure what branch it is for, it's Prussian, and I'm making that assumption due to the cocard and that is a neat one, it's leather and not metal like you normaly see. The color is dark blue and the color between the red strips is almost black but looks blue and its like velvet cloth. Any thoughts?

Fritzzi,

It could be field post or it could just be the regular postal civil service in Germany. These eventually came in gray too (for the field post). The stripes are supposed to be orange.
