hat, FWS, old?

[Mbijl]

Hello,

I am Martin From the Netherlands, new here. And, i have a question. I got this German Hat,
made by Friedrich W. Schneider GmbH & Co.
The paper on the inside:

FORM 1331 58
QUAL RHODESIA
FARBE 201
AUFTR NR 04175
F.W.S. KOLN 827

Well, i started emailing to the company, it still exists but.. no no we know nothing.... we have no archive.
Could be.. The hat is made from the same cloth as a wehrmacht/ss jacket. the Hat must be around 1938-45.
it is in a perfect condition! there are some stamps, in gold, but i can not read it. and the letters J.P., must be the owner.

Is there anyone who can tell me more about this hat?

I can't tell you anything about the hat other than the obvious. It looks beautiful. Love the colour combination. Bear it in good health my friend.

It's a very nice Schützenhut. My guess would be 1950s. Can you post the same information in this thread so I can follow-up?
