OS cap sold as Luft but with blue piping

[Renaud]

I was wondering what could be this OS cap with blue piping ? I have no intention to buy it, just curious. The thing seems period (but which period and which organization/country ?)...

Never saw anything like that. Piping usually runs around the edge of the folded part of the cap, and sometimes a colour piping was added here (unauthorized) to Luftwaffe caps.

Post war berlin police had a blue cap with dark blue piping. Post it on the Polizei forum somebody there would be able to tell.
