I agree justice based on the green wool color and black band!....
9 out of 10 of these have been converted to Waffen SS gebirgsjaeger because of the black band...
this one converted to Heer... WH insignia by far the easiest to find!
Definitely restorable!
This is what its supposed to look like unmolested... (example shown on WAF last month)
Your cap appears to be "Mint/Un-issued" so it is quite possible that it sat unsold, without insignia, throughout the war. The Heer badges may have been placed on it erroneously at a later date. It could be a nice project to "restore" it to it's original intent. If you choose to do this, take your time and find just the right badges/cords to mint it out.
