      I believe this may be an Imperial era cap; the impression on the velvet band appears to be that of a cockade.
      The tellermutze shape would be appropriate for that time, and the field grey, with a black velvet band, and red piping would be for artillery, and engineers, possibly flying troops, and some other units. The velvet would indicate a cap for an officer, or senior nco.

        Definately early...1920's possibly early 30's...
        Could be Strassenbahn related (light rail/tram or municipal bus service even) ...
        Definately a civil mutze of some sort!

            Plus one. Definately not a military cap, but a civil one. Coulor of the cap is not military anyway. Compare the shape fo the cap with pictures of worn caps of Freikorpse. They all have completely other shapes.

              C.Rotte: Exactly, the shape is a clue that its civilian and ALSO the waterproof liner, something you don't see often in military caps...
              Seen on (later WW2) Polizei and feuerschutz visors... I vote strassenbahn, light rail, bus or something along those lines
              which also explains the lack of cap cords. (but that is not a golden rule either!)


              Here's a similar shaped one from my collection which came with matching strassenbahn uniform+pants viewable in the bottom thread link...
              These came in various colors and piping farbes depending on the municipality, private enterprise or public city rail (tram) etc...
              I put together a strassenbahn volkssturm member!

                I think it may just be a post-WWI manufactured example of a WWI cap for Pioneer, Artillery etc.
