Could a derby be re-blocked to an homburg? I've seen some derbys with very nicely-shaped/proportioned brims.

Those D'Orsay curls are really nice, but are pretty much obsolete in current times! So you're probably talking about a vintage derby being reblocked, and my guess is that a) you'd be dealing with far too much shellac/stiffness, and b) most vintage derbies simply won't have enough crown height to support a center crease.
Having learned from others here, it's a pretty safe bet on Ebay that if the hat has a more even pencil curl or "German curl" and a noticeably wider ribbon, then the felt is probably going to be soft and the crown is probably going to be a little taller: A Homburg, even if the photo shows an open crown.

It will probably be difficult due to the amount of stiffener in them.
Thanks! I hadn't thought about crown height (and loss thereof with the centre-dent).

That is a steal! Congrats!
Thank you Steve. I was suprised as the seller wrote me he wants 5 EUR for it. He is on the way Steve, i think tomorrow he arrived with a little luck.
Wait? Maybee its no Borsalino.

Don't see that everyday. Though why does it have vents AND a liner?
