I know Andreas Peter. He is the "Stadtwächter" and has a shop in the city. The "Stadtwächter-Stübchen" where you can buy many many books and historic cards. He also sends items so maybe i ask him if he has still some books or if it will be reprinted .


As the saying goes: those sitting close to the fire warm themselves best! Good score.

Hey Martin, I don't know this brand and never heard of the Burggraf Qualität - maybe Steve knows - but what caught my eye: in the middle of the logo is a coat of arms with three antlers of a stag - this is the ancestral coat of arms of Württemberg. I thought directly of Mayser, but there is no obvious connection. So I don't know if that helps at all....

Martin, My feeling (construction, components, some of the labels) is Gubener Hüte GmbH. I don't think it goes back to the GDR. I have some of these hats in storage. I can find out for sure who made it but my main focus is 1950s and earlier.

When i came in and asked for book he told he had a bad night and thought about this book this night and searched for it . He told he had intuition that someone will come for it and put it on table. So no problem if you want this... Is a fresh one . He needs only address and 13,90€ + porto.

P. & C. Habig Wien "Special", P. & C. Habig's "Special Qualität, Reine Handarbeit", 58 cm, possibly 1930s late 1920s and reworked later. There is no paper label but the Liner is stitched in so if reworked it was possibly in the 1950s. The Felt has a Natural finish but a soft hand. The Sweatband, Liner and Band are of very high quality.

I have a NOS condition P. & C. Habig Wien "Special", P. & C. Habig's "Special Qualität, Reine Handarbeit Berlin Friedrichstr. 82a" that has very similar components and from about the same time period. This is definitely one of my finest hats.

Some things are meant to be. I'll contact him next week (I'll be away for a few days). Thanks, Martin.
