IMO blue M43 KM caps did not exist, so cap could be period but not KM.

Post war cap of some sort. The eagle has nothing to do with this cap.

On the book "La Kriegsmarine" written by Berrafato there is this image:

If I'm corectly remember, Mister Willy Schumacher had (or still have) dark blue (or black) M-43 with gold KM eagle, cocade and KM buttons. Cap was described as Kriegsmarine.

Interesting story.

Picture #1 reads "Kleiderkasse der Deutsche xxxxbahn", could it be Reichsbahn?

PS any markings on the back side of the buttons?

FROM WIKIPEDIA:

The Deutsche Reichsbahn – also referred to in English as the German Imperial Railway[1][2] or German Reich Railway[3] – was the name of the German national railway created from the railways of the individual states of the German Empire following the end of World War I.
It was founded in 1920 as the Deutsche Reichseisenbahnen when the Weimar Republic (formally Deutsches Reich – "German Reich" – hence the usage of "Reich" in the name of the railway) took national control of the German railways, which had previously been run by the German states.
In 1924 it was reorganised under the aegis of the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft (DRG), a nominal private railway company, which was 100% owned by the German state.
In 1937 it was reorganised again as a state authority and given the name Deutsche Reichsbahn (DRB). After the Anschluss in 1938 the DR also took over the Bundesbahn Österreich (BBÖ, Federal Railway of Austria).
The East and West German states were founded in 1949. East Germany took over the control of the DR on its territory and continued to use the traditional name Deutsche Reichsbahn, while the railway in West Germany became the Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB, German Federal Railway). The Austrian Österreichische Bundesbahnen (ÖBB, Austrian Federal Railways) was founded in 1945, and was given its present name in 1947.
In January 1994, following the German union, the East German Deutsche Reichsbahn merged with the West German Deutsche Bundesbahn to form Germany's new national carrier, Deutsche Bahn AG, technically no longer a government agency but still a 100% state-owned joint stock company.

WW2 M-43 had never Plastic liner inside.
These caps are post WW2 and the eagle is added by some money seeking inventor.
