I am looking at a luft artillary visor manufactured by Geb Alm? Does any one have any information on this company. Is this a cottage type company? It did say uniforms and mulzen under the name. Did the make all branches of visors and uniforms? Thanks Paul

Hallo Paul
Just a recollection of some information that previously appeared on this forum by other friends collectors:
Otto and Wilhelm ALM established their company in 1918 in Tempelhof-Schoneberg, Brunhildstrasse 5; from 1937 in Kreuzbergstrasse 30 (not far from their former address) and finally from 1939 in Berlin-Mitte, Munzstrasse 15.
I've searched my files and I've found only an handful of LW visors: all were enlisted contract caps, made in 1937 and 1938. The company's full logo says Uniform-Mutzen-Fabrik; consequently I think they produced LW uniforms also.
A last curiosity: there is an Otto ALM, born in Wormdist on 06.21.1877, dead on 03.09.1944 in Berlin and buried in the cemetery of Schoneberg (block 2, reihe 32, grab 2). Maybe the same Otto or a member of his family at least? I don't know.
