Galimberti hat

Ah, so you got that one. Never saw one before. Odd that it says qualité instead of qualitá. French maybe?

 

Nice hat.

 

Or so you hope. I've been waiting for three days now for a package that was sent from within the country. A package I sent to Denmark has already arrived!

 

Marcel, the Galimberti could be an Italian hat. Much more would be understood from photos you do well to the whole and to the details. I still have some doubts about some grammatical errors in the trademark, however some good photos would help

 

I did see it and considered it, but too "trachten" for me.

 

Looks nice, but a lot less grey than in the auction pics.

 

Very nice colour. I found another one on a Belgian auction site. So it could be Belgian made.

 

Marcel, the hat bears an Italian brand, but it seems to have been made by someone who has emigrated or used an Italian surname to feel more chic. I tell you this, even at first glance I thought it was a hat made in Monza, because there are two obvious errors in the Italian language. One is in the mark under the crown where it says "marca di fabbrica" (in Italian language it is "marchio di fabbrica") and another is on the sweatband where the word quality is in French (qualité).
That said, there is no doubt that the hat is cute and a rarity

 

The surname Galimberti is decidedly Lombard (Lombardia, so Monza), with a possible lineage in the province of Reggio Emilia. In Italy there are 2500 families who bear his surname spread in 611 municipalities. Galimberti derives from the Germanic name Warinbert with the meaning of "illustrious defender".
