Luftwaffe hat by Landes Lief

[grantsmil]

Any opinions on this hat would be appreciated.
It is marked in the crown with a company name of 'Landes Lief. Gend' hat-maker from 'Berlin 1939'. I have heard this maker is widely reproduced.

Nice original cap by one of the 'LAGO's, which stood for: Landeslieferungsgenossenschaft, or a small collective of makers....

Here is a bit of a list, with your maker included.....

Cheers

Thanks everyone.
I appreciate the list Bob, its good to see. I did not know the use of the word LAGO, thanks very much.

This hat does not appear to have had much use, although there are several moth holes to the top. It will make a nice addition to the collection.
