I have never seen that wasserdicht tag before (but I see new things every day in this hobby).
Unusual to see a waterproof lining in an officer cap--most are just rayon.
Chinstrap is not standard, as it is a LW EM/NCO type.
The pasteboard in these is usually treated/stiffened gauze or celluloid, and this is the first I can recall seeing with buckram.
That being said, I like it more than I don't.

OK - so that's definitely some food for thought! Thank you for letting me know about the pasteboard, another thing I didn't know. Much appreciated (again).

I suppose that the Wasserdict-tag with the old flags and the Kaiseradler was put in there by somebody who doesn't speak German - stonemint has already mentioned that it actually doesn't make sense. Furthermore why should there be an imperial tag in a 3rd Reich cap. The stuffing material looks good, on the other hand - it certainly is an old(er) cap. Waiting for the KM-specialists, I'm eager to know what all that is about.

Also worth mentioning.. why is the insignia pinned on by needles? do not look real the insignia imo..I dont think this cap is anything more than a put together project by someone...! Just my 2 cents.. sorry Caroline.

Shame on me - sometimes one doesn't see the most obvious things! My excuse is that I don't know a thing about insigns so I don't even take a closer look.

In the first picture the eagle looks like it's about to come off.

Yes, that looks like an Imperial Wasserdicht tag.
At the same time, the oakleaves on the visor are correct, and the visor looks like it has been attached forever.
Caroline--any signs that the visor has been transplanted from another cap?
