A Little Serendipity - A Pionier Schirmmütz from a Still-Existing Mützenmacher

[DonC]

All, I just piced up an EM/NCO Schirmmütze from 3/17.Pionier Batallion. I researched the maker's tag I found tucked inside the sweatband and found the firm still exists - Peter Ertl of Ingolstadt: http://www.ertl-ingolstadt.de/index.html

I'll post some pics when I get a moment, but it was nice to see they are still around - here's one pic from my craptastic cell camera:

Und das schon seit 140 Jahren. Davon einige Jahre als "Königlich Bayerischer Hoflieferant"

no wonder this company has made for sure some nice item in the past
