Yes, it's Confederatka or Konfederatka. Bravo Trooper!

Sandor, I have the book "Les Trésors de L'Empéri "and they do refer to this cap as Confederatka. A Pokalem has a different shape.

Ah, can you tell me the page number of the one you are referring to? I think there are two caps that come close to the description you gave, thus the confusion.
Thanks,
