    The entry on page 285 states:

    There were 2 special caps that Göring wore as part of his Reichsmarschall's uniform. The first could be classed as the full dress version, the cap that formed
    part of his official uniform, while the second cap, not quite so elaborate, could be said to be his informal or undress Marshall's cap. Both caps exhibited a high standard of workmanship, and details of the design and colouring of the 'full dress' version were published in the German trade magazine "Uniformen-Markt" and "Schwert und Spaten".
    The crown and body to the cap was made from 'hellgrau' (light grey) material of the finest quality, the cap band was of light-grey velvet and the peak was of
    black paten vulcanised fibre with a narrow stitched rim and a pale green underside (see photos on page 307). The insignia of the cap was also of the highest quality, the gold embroidery work being of 'blankgold', bullin threads of reflective, glittering gold. The national emblem was embroidered on to a backing of dove-grey material and then sewn to the front of the cap.
    The size of this emblem was slightly larger than those emblems on normal Luftwaffe officer's caps. The crown to the cap and the top and bottom edge of the cap band were piped with gold cording. The gold -wire hand embroidery worked directly into the front of the velvet cap band took the form of a wreath surrounding a cockade of concentric rings of black, silver and red. This cockade was edged with a fine border of silver wire which, in turn, was bordered with a circle of gold, and the whole stood proud from the wreath. On either side of the wreath were stylized 'wings', each of two sets of four lines of feathers. Embroidered around what remained of the cap band was a decorative series of laurel leaves and berries. It is believed that 30 such leaves and berries encircled the cap band. The cap was finished off with a set of gold-coloured cap cords held in place by means of two small pebble-surfaced gilt coloured cap cord buttons. The original cap was manufactured the Berlin form of Robert Lubstein, and the responsibility for the hand embroidery is attributed to two Berliners employed by the firm, Herr Hanselmann and Herr Troltsch. It is evident that Göring had more than one Marshall's cap of both patterns.
    The full dress cap as illustrated in official photographs of Hermann Göring taken to mark his promotion to Reichsmarschall show that there were only ten laurel leaves and four laurel berries on the wreath, whereas on other, later caps of this type there are clearly twelve leaves and four berries.

    To the pale green underside of the peak: the second picture here shows another version, the peak with beige underside.

    I think he hasn't quite got that right, I read it too, and my understanding is that the HG caps all had a cream underside to the visors....
