Austrian Maker info? Luftwaffe Officer Visor

[Rick C]

Posting this for a new member. He's hoping for any info anyone may have on this maker. He's had the cap for 13 years.

Thanx in advance, Rick C.

Hello all,
I am the owner of this cap and a new member. I bought this cap in 94 with a pilot's jacket that, as the story goes, a vet brought back in 45. I have checked Wilkin's book, but I can't find any information on this maker. Was this just a small time Vienna tailor? If so, he made a really nice cap IMO. Any thoughts/opinions?

Thats a new maker to me--Marie Slama was the big maker in Vienna.
Thanks for posting (I love obscure makers) and that is one sweet LW cap!

I echo the previous request for info on the maker of yet another Austrian maker

Otto Goldeband, what a great name for a hat maker. Looks like a really nicely made example too, congrats!

Peter, you have a lovely Austrian maker that I have never seen before, either--could you post pictures of your hat?

[Peter J.]

Sure thing, I'll take a couple of shots later on today. While waiting, here's another maker, not shown in Gary's book.

Peter--the hat screams "quality"--

Thanks, I won't hold that statement against you . Here are a few more images of the other "unknown" maker.
