Yes, i'm happy with these 2 Peschels
I bet, Pellie [emoji4]. They're super cool looking street/jazz hats.

Does anyone know what the difference is between the quality Peschel Terra and Peschel Lord?
I don't believe there's a quality difference. They're the name of the style of the hat.

There's a slight age difference between the two. What quality differences do you see and feel?

I see and feel that the Lord is softer then the Terra. The Terra is stiffer. . Also the hatband of the Lord is of more quality imo. It feels thicker.
The brimedge of the Lord is nicer then the Terra, so imho i think the Lord is better and so maybe older? But i'm not sure!
Older is not necessarily better, depending on the vintage. The one may well be better than the other. They're both really nice Peschels.
If you're looking for an age, I'd say between late 70s / early 80s due to the labels. They look 60s style cool, though.

How can you see that on the labels?
Good question. To me, the labels look more post sixties than 60s. They're more textile looking than paper looking.
Are they paper or textile?

But Peschel closed his doors in 1971 i believe. So the hats must be earlier then that or am i wrong?
That was my conundrum.
Better folks who know can hopefully weigh in.
Who took over the Peschel name after Peschel?

Tonak!
Ja, Tonak after WWII. As with all hats made in Czechoslovakia pre the end of WWII. But did they continue producing Peschel labelled hats after Anton Peschel closed his production down in '71. I guess only Steve (mayserwegener) can tell us that.
Your hats may well be pre 1971, Pellie. They're really nice looking examples either way. Hope to find that style in my size one day [emoji4].
Btw, are you familiar with Steve's website? It's a must for German / Austrian hat fans.

Steve is not here haha...
Nice finds, Pellie. I've seen quite a few Peschel hats in the vintage shops lately. Strange how these hats seem to show up in waves.
Mmm ... any in my size, Stefan? [emoji4]
The Peschel I bought from you a couple of years back is one of my favourite hats. I don't see them at all in Denmark.
