Re: Bundeswehr M56 Feldmützen (aka M-43 style caps)
Thanks for your comments. There's a Bundesmarine version in dark blue that I've not managed to find yet. Plenty of photos of them being worn so I know they existed!
My Heer officer cap edelweiß has prongs instead of the sewing holes.
For the caps themselves: interesting in that there is no difference in quality between the officer and enlisted version other than the piping being present on the officer caps.
The bullion cockade on the LW officer cap probably came off a sidecap. I've seen a few other M56 caps with this cockade on them. I don't think it was a common practice but I don't think it was prohibited, either.

Very nice cap! I didn't even know there was a version without vents!
