Cap 1. Fire Service NCO????? Deep pink/purple piping. Mdl 1856 D.

Cap 2. Prison Official Officer ????? Royal blue piping. Mdl 1856 Y.

Cap 3. Sporting Association Officer???? Red piping. 1856 C.

Agreed on the fire service cap.

Unless I am much mistaken, the dark blue cap with the royal blue piping is for an officer of the Transportpolizei (Trapo) [Transportation Police], whereas the prison service had light grey piping.

The last cap is definitely for the Gesellschaft für Sport und Technik (GST) [Association for Sports and Technology], a mass organization for furthering sports and technological proficiency in young people, all in the interest of pre-military training.
