Help Me Identify This P&C Habig Wien?

[u.c.martin]

Hello all. New to the forum but I recently bought this hat at an Antique Mall and was wondering if anyone could help me find more out about it. Anyone have any idea of the year these were made? I didn't pay much for it so I was wondering what the approximate value would be if I were to sell it.

Thanks everyone!

P. & C. Habig Wien was a famous hat company from Vienna (Wien), Austria. They went out of business in the late 1980s.

It's a long hair finish Trachten / Alpine style hat. If you steam and brush counter clockwise it will take on shinny slick look. My guess is 1970s but it might be a little earlier.

It was sold by Breiter München which are still in business.
