That is a Swedish army winter cap m/1950. It was most likely used with the m/ 39 uniform as an alternative to the winter cap m/ 43. The m/ 39 uniform was later replaced by the m/ 59 (summer) and the m/ 58 (winter) uniforms. That included the winter cap m/ 59. So this was probably made sometime between 1950 and 1959. The stamp says 56 (or something) which is the size and Ö.S.B. which is the manufacturer. It stands for Örebro Sport & Bil (Örebro Sports and Car). Over that is the three crowns, which is the Swedish small national emblem. -

The photo was taken before the transition of the "Panzeraufklaerungstruppe" to "Heeresaufklaerungstruppe". The branch kept the golden yellow color but the beret insignia changed. It has only two crossed lances now without the wheeled recce tank. -

I love this jacket! Having modified all my uniforms for field use I love how the soldier tailored it for combat. Paul -

This is a formation of troops of an Recon unit in the 1990s, they are all armed with UZIs, that is West German called the MP2. The German Bundeswehr (especially its tank crews) used the Uzi since 1959 under the designation MP2.[29][30] It replaced the MP1 (Beretta M1938/49) and Thompson M1 in service. The MP2 was fitted with the IDF-style wooden stock and the later MP2A1 was fitted with the metal folding stock. It can be recognized by its distinctive three-position "DES" selector switch: "D" for "Dauerfeuer" ("continuous-fire", or "automatic"), "E" for "Einzelfeuer" ("single-fire", or "semi-automatic"), and "S" for "Sicher" ("secure", or "safe"). It was replaced with the Heckler & Koch MP7 Personal Defense Weapon in 2007.[30] Most of the Uzis used in Germany consisted of receivers with Israeli markings and grips made by FN -

It says "Swiss Made" which would lead me to believe it is a civilian cap made for export. -
