Luftwaffe EM Flight Piped Visor Cap - Unknown Maker NM Cond. - Neumann & Zoymer ?

[Colorado]

Picked this up last spring. Other than some signs of age to the visor and visor trim, it's near mint. It has a November 23rd, 1945 Stars and Stripes newspaper stuffed inside the peak of the cap.

Marked, " Neumann & Zoymer Mutzenfabrikation G.m.b.H Berlin 1939 " and size marked 57.

Anyone familiar with this maker? Stonemint has seen this exact cap before, that's all I know, see link below (post 866):

I like the hat, and imo, it is a good one. What surprises me is that this is (apparently) a contract hat, but it is the only one by this maker that I have ever seen ( or even heard of). Further, the company is a Berlin maker.

Is the second name Zuymer?

Thanks for the comments Stonemint.

It's "Zoymer" Here are a couple zoom in photos of the maker mark with and without flash, you can see the rounded top on the "O"

Going to MAX this year? I will bring with me.

I took a good look at this cap at the recent MAX Show; it certainly is a minty example.
