Unfamiliar Visor Cap

[Michael Stern]

Hello,
Just wondering if someone can tell me what branch of service this hat belonged to? The entire hat is gray, including the hat band. The piping appears to be white or a light gray. It has the NCO leather chin strap and black side buttons. The under portion seems fairly standard. The eagle emblem is missing. Thanks in advance for your help.

Thank you very much.

I would guess DRK too. The only anomaly is the wool on the band matches the wool on the crown in both material and color, but I believe this is just a maker variation.

Generally the band wool is softer and more felted and is also a darker gray than the top:

If the piping is a light gray DRK for sure.

Thank's everyone,
My first guess was DRK, but I am new to the game. I appreciate your responses.

I think DRK, too. Do not worry about the oakleafs. It was not uncommon, that the Wehrmacht-oakleafs were worn on DRK-visor caps.
