Cockade question

[landsknechte]

Randomly found this cockade this afternoon... Two questions - is it real, and if so, where would it be from?

Here's what little you can see of the reverse without pulling the cardboard off...

Assuming that is black, the butterscotch pudding was probably once red, which would make this an enlisted man's visor cap cockade from W?rttemberg.

If the dark is blue not black, than that's probably yellow, and would be ditto for Braunschweig.

The dark is probably black, maybe a very very dark forest green. I only grabbed one, but the seller had a whole box of them, most still on the cardboard backing in ones or twos. The butterscotch was evenly butterscotch on all of them, with a couple that were a hair more mustard yellow.

Thanks,

Just stumbled across this listing on eBay.de:

It looks like the exact same cockade, on the exact same card that mine (and the others that were up for offer) was cut from.
