NON-WARTIME Postwar Manufacturers:

[stonemint]

Enorepap--your invaluable research never ceases to amaze me! Its looking like there were very few makers postwar that did not exist before/during the war--thats why I love this hobby--it's just one mystery after another, yet a lot of them are getting solved!

Hi Stonemint. Thank you for the nice words

I think that with a little help from the "imperial guys" it could be really possible to go back to the very beginnings of many makers (and above all to their first trademarks ). I have tried to decode them on my imperial headgears but they are almost all illegibles

best regards

I've never seen this logo on a wartime hat--Gebr. Klotz, Kiel:

Hallo Stonemint
The capital K superimposed on the vessel’s sail seems to have been a very popular logo. This is an example from a merchant navy visor by KRAUSE. I think that the inscription “GRAF LUCKNER MUTZE” identified the visor’s pattern, as for the “GORCH FOCK MUTZE” ones:





Best regards, enorepap

HANS KOSANETZKY MUTZEN of DORTMUND, an der Windhake 12 (previously with office in Munsterstrasse and Altendernerstrasse).

I'm not sure about the definite period he started with production, so I post him here.

best regards

This looks celluloid from the picture, and this postwar mfr also uses a 1/2 stirndruckfrei feature:

Hi Stonemint

These hats were traded by Albert ZIEGLER GMBH & Co. KG., which is a leading group in the field of fire brigade's equipment. This is a link to their current sale list:

Another main company which is even in the same business is KRUMPELMANN GMBH, with offices in LANDSHUT and ERGOLDING (N-E of Munchen).

Once again, enorepap, your wealth of knowledge makes me look like the amateur I am

I don't know if Ziegler produces their own caps in house, or whether it is an ALkero product, but at least they still use a nice Sattelform:

Hi Stone

yes, a really nice shape ! I have the temptation to purchase it but I'm afraid NTZ could chop it for a test I'm joking, I think he will like it !

best regards, my friends

It turns out that some of these makers on this thread did exist during the TR, so Enorepap can correct me if I am wrong.

I have yet to see this on a wartime cap (or KR or Weimar)--it looks like Segler:

DDR postwar label-- Mutzenfabrik Erfurt:

Erich Beinhorn, Braunschweig:

Erich Beinhorn, Braunschweig:

hallo Stone

end of the holidays ...

Erich BEINHORN (inh. Regina RUDNIK) of BRAUNSCHWEIG is currently involved in trading articles related to the railway's services and history. It seems to me that a logo showing the company's name was used many years ago for assemblying some deceptive visors.

Enore, good to have you back!
Here is another postwar logo: Federlicht Rollbar (featherlight)
