Mudos Qualitat -- This is on a BRD visor tricked out to look like an RLB.
(I had thought this was a fantasy maker, but it is a legit postwar maker--I have never seen the logo on a legit TR cap yet.

Hallo tony james

I've seen sometimes ago a ROLAND postwar mutze (size 56) with that very nice drawing and black chincords, but the images were unfortunately very poor!

As a free supposition, I remember that, during TR period, HERMANN JENRICH Kurschnermeister (he had his office in NEUHALDENSLEBEN, the so-called Stadt an der Heide, Hagenstr. 3) used a very distinctive logo, bearing the equestrian monument of the medieval knight ROLAND.

I hope this could be useful.

best regards
