    I'm not a specialist for these but I can tell you that the "Laco"-marked cap is a reproduction, the grey one with the the two buttons is a post-war BRD cap (see the stitches for the sweatshield? Originals didn't have sweatshields) and the first one with the green piping I cannot identify. Just one thing: EM Einheitsfeldmützen didn't have any piping (and they didn't have a sweatband that goes all around the interior), it could be an early post-war BGS cap.

    Anyway, wait for the M43 specialists to chime in for this one.

    Hello,

    The first cap posted is a Zoll cap with the correct green piping and flatwire Zoll 't' form insignia.
