Mark, I would honestly have expected a lighter blue as well for Bayern Jäger. A friend of mine has a Bayern Jäger officer as well, it is also a weird medium blue. I have about 30 + Schirmmütze with blue tops, several are Bayern, and not one cap is the same color. Some caps that by regulation should only be light blue (like a Dragoner with specific colors, so it can only be a Dragoner Regt for example) show up with dark blue tops. Go figure.....
Beautiful cap. Although it is not "grau", I can certainly appreciate the condition and rarity of visor....
