Anyone else have any RZM marked "Elegants" so we can determine the maker?

Maybe I missed it--has anyone confirmed that there exists an "Elegant" hat with a Muller (143) RZM #?

Yes, post #36

Nick, I don't know if Woefl actually owns a hat with an Elegant mark with that RZM #, or that he is just giving us Mullers RZM #....

[derek]

I think the latter.

[Antiquefrog]

I agree - he is just giving us Mullers #, which is well-known.

Antique Frog: I'm not arrogant. I'm just better than you (joking of course). Seriously folks, it's Fred's choice who to deal with and not deal with, but really . . . for me, the quality and originality of a dealer's goods, and the professionalism of his customer service - that is what counts. There are lots of AHs in this business (not Adolph Hitler, but A-- Ho--es). And the dealers who have been highlighted here for good material - you are getting good advice. Still, vet items you want to buy, since all dealers make mistakes now and then. The measure of the dealer is a) how many he does make (hopefully very few) and b) how aggressive he is in making things right when he does. I for one always like to "vet" items I have questions on right here on WAF. I find it to be a very impartial and informative tool that will yield a consensus of opinion among knowlegable collectors.
