The cap body has that really odd shape. Jacques

I thought the interior looked familiar. PM sent to P.G.

It's a good one.

From the pics, it is a dead ringer for an Alteste (but admittedly, better pics would help). Nevertheless, the photos absolutely reveal Alteste tell-tale signs: the lining color, center seam appears off-center, and the fact that they had a narrow black band; notice that the wreath is too big for the black band.

Is this your hat Steiner? I've been looking for one for a long time, so I'd love to chat with you. Feel free to PM me.

Karl, thanks for the PM. Since I am not a member of the website, any chance there is a description that you can forward to me for this hat; namely, size, condition, and price? Is it an auction or direct sale? Again, many thanks my friend. If it fits my needs, I will certainly send you a finder's fee (see the Wanted section; I've been looking for one for a VERY long time!).

All the best!

Looks like a not often seen Luft Alteste.
