More...the liner has had a diamond lable but long gone !...the caps cloth is course grey stuff !..the front buttons are some type of horn !?..it has an age , but i dont like the peaks trim !...

[Semovente]

Well i take it back about the peaks trim ! ?...found this pic of a H .Jugend ski cap with just such a peak !!!...😮

The visor trimming of the 2-button cap appear to be of some sort of plastic, you should check what material is. I can also barely see some plastic between the liner and the inner edge of the bill. Wartime ski/mountain/field cap would normally not have a sweatshield which, on the contrary, is customary on postwar West German cloth caps. Be advised that caps like yours (with plastic buttons, horn buttons or a buckle) have been a popular style of headgear in Germany both during the Third Reich and for decades postwar.

Yes i agree & i dont like it any way Marco !.. plus its not mine as i have it on loan from a fellow collector to try and establish if its first of all wartime (which i doubt too !.)..and secondly what or who would have worn it ?...so yes i think your very right Marco thank you !...
