Dobbs Milan - How old?

[racuda]

I am the happy owner of this Dobbs Milan, sourced from eBay. Can someone please tell me the approximate age of it? Also there is a discrepancy in the size. The gold tag says 7 3/8 and the tag under the sweatband says 7 1/4. Is that a European vs. U.S. distinction?

'50s/early '60s. The size discrepancy is a US vs European thing, I think. Body vs. trimming.

Great looking Milan. I love my Pilgrim, which is of similar vintage.
