Blue side Cap

[Waffen55]

This side cap comes from an old man who collected WW2 Stuff in his youth. My uncle just picked it up yesterday. Among some posters and medals he came across this cap. Never seen anything like that in this combination. Looks like he put panzer skull on a LW side cap to me... Any thoughts?

Im fairly sure that is a Russian, eastern European side cap.

Looks like a 5th Cavalry / Berlin Hoard type TK insignia. I can't spot any red flags on it, but these are somewhat questioned by some collectors due to the hoard that was found without a good and documented story behind it. Some good reference is found here below in the links:

Thank you for the first valuable comments in the previous thread. I just got pictures from today during day light. The side cap is BLACK not blue.

I am with KMMorris that this is a Russian model (shape, lining, [even the flaps have lining!] sweatband etc.), see here:

I would say it is Russian also with skull added later
