Help with a Feldmutze(?)

Hello Folks -

Been a while, but it's always a pleasure to know there is a place to go for answers. I usually stick with stahlhems and a couple of pickelhaubes, but this cloth feldmutze (I believe that is the correct name?) came along and I figured it would be nice to round out the collection.

As you can tell, I know little or nothing about the details of soft headgear. I think it may be Prussian and perhaps private purchse, but beyond that.... :-?

It is black felt with red piping and a fake (faux) leather liner band. Maker's mark and looks like the name "Immerman?" written inside. Also ink stamps that are faint and I can't make out.

Appreciate any help on unit it represents or anything else.

Thanks and Best regards!

Mike,

You have what appears to be an Imperial fireman's mutze or perhaps what was once a visored cap with the visor removed. It has both an officer's cockade and EM cockade but they are supposed to match.
