    Hello all....along with a West German helmet, my brother-in-law also sent me this East German side cap....I was wondering what period and if it is legit...it does not have any markings on the interior and the prop and anchor would indicate navy but I couldn't find any that looked like this with the red piping...at first glance it looked like something for the boy scouts...

    any input would be appreciated

    It's a Schiffchen of the 'Gesellschaft fur Sport und Technik' of the GDR.

    There is also an older version with a metal badge for this cap.

    The Gesellschaft für Sport und Technik was a paramilitary organization actually, not civilian at all. One of its tasks was to prepare and train the Youth for their military service and to raise awareness and attractiveness for military jobs.
