[ZAM]

I was offered a Luftwaffe female os cap with golden piping. Now my question, who wore that kind of piping? User "female service" have one too...

Gold-brown, on shiffschenform was the norm.

But the piping is GOLD, not Brown, like the one from female service, the third LW os in the link...

In Uniforms and Insignia of the Luftwaffe Volume 2: 1940-1945 by Brian L. Davis page 243:
the piping color is referred to as gold-brown. I interpret that to be gold with a slight brown tint.
The caps in the referred thread look to have a tint of brown color, not true gold IMO.
