I believe this is a rare schirmmutze, issued to the Bavarian Leibgarde der Hartschiere, the King's ceremonial guard.
This unit, formed in 1669, consisted of a total of 107 men, all ranks.

Thanks for your response. Although I was convinced of it's authenticity, I took it the the recent MAX Show, since I live 25 miles away. I showed it to reps from Hermann Historica who were there, and they confirmed that's it a good cap, and quite rare.
