Hello Paul,

Skull aside, this "Schirmmütze" was most certainly worn by a "Feuerwehr-Mann" (fireman): black, red piping and single national cockade on the band.

I had a similar one about 10 years ago. Silver letterings on its violet lining clearly indicated its destination: Feuerwehr Frankfurt a. Main.

Unfortunately I have no more photos or scans of this cap to back up my sayings.

Anyway, I hope this helps.

All the best,

Jean-Samuel Karlen .

my guess would be along the same lines, fireman with an added skull.
