Hello everyone! What are ya'lls thoughts on this WWI German feldmutze? Asking on behalf of a friend. Is it any good, and what regiment is it from?

If more photos are needed, just let me know and I'll shoot a message to my buddy!

From the limited photos it's hard to tell. I think it has a chance. The liner however seems to been repaired at one point in time.

If it helps, I can ask my friend for some more photos, is there anything specific you need to see?
 
Personally I would say this is a reproduction.
The cap band should be the same width approx as the cockade approx 2.7cm. The cap looks too new, wrong cloth on the crown IMO plus the buckram stiffner in the cap band is not standard for feldmutze.
The cap is a rare unit too so another red flag.
Sorry to be so negative.

No problem haha, it's always good to be skeptical in this hobby!
