The cap produced by Kiel Aug.Geiger and named,only had the national emblem and a hole for installing the eagle badge outside, cap crown can be removed, words like “1855 R” behind the cap sweat ring and no other stamp inside
I hope you can put forward valuable suggestions，thanks

From what I can see in these pictures (sweatband, sweatshield, chincord, white cover - fabric and the single hole for a post-war cockade) this is a post war cap. Hopefully for you the KM-experts will contradict me.

Nothing wrong with grey sweatbands as such, but both caps look like re-worked post-war Bundesmarine private purchase caps. Geiger was a major manufacturer of Bundesmarine caps so Geiger caps always need treated with extreme caution. Huge numbers of post-war Geiger caps have appeared over the years, modified to pass as Kriegsmarine.
