Postwar! Bundesmarine.

I reached out to the seller and the guy who sold it to him tells him that it's a typical KM cap and that 57K is a well known marking for these. Not doubting you Narcis i just want to know exactly what gives it away.
The seller is honest and will remove it once it's confirmed it's a BM cap.

I asked the seller what the material behind the sweatband looked like and he said it looked like pasteboard or something similar.
Tobias, under the hood (sweatband) photos are critical with these.
What you want to see is either celluloid or treated gauze (which are both water resistant).
The BM caps used either plain cardboard or pasteboard.
That is the extent of my understanding of these caps--I do not collect them.
