The cockade is an officer's; for Prussia. It is missing the Reichskokarde above it. Same cap could be worn for senior nco's, but with enlisted cockades.

Steve (walkwolf), thanks for the comment on the cap.
Steve (oradour), thanks for the reply and pics.....these books are on order for my xmas present as we speak!......Looking at these pictures the hat I feel is coming down on the side of a private purchase field cap for an nco rather than a specialised units cap. I agree that the cap may just have been made to different specifications as requested by the purchaser. The cockades have been tampered with as there is a hole in the centre of the cap band for a cockade but the one it came with had two prongs to attach it to the cap band as the top photos show. Another militaria conundrum...................we will never know !

Steve, great photo.
I can feel myself reaching for an eidelweiss and my sowing needle (only joking)......... if it turns out to be a M1908 then this is a real bonus but either way I,m a happy bunny with it.
The books arrived today as well....result.
cheers
