Hello gents. Not had opportunity to post here really, with not having many felt hats, but I found a beauty. It was all crumpled up in a vintage shop, and I managed to get it for £8 (I guess that's about $12?). With a steam and massage it came up absolutely immaculate. The photos don't do the colour justice - it is a slate grey, with a lovely silver ribbon that has two trailing ends. I don't know the maker myself, but i was hoping some of you fellows could identify it? 'Marke Greif', so I don't know if that's German or Austrian? I have assumed 1950s from the style, but I guess it could potentially be a spot earlier. The lining and the leather sweatband are in great condition, and are not cracked or dry at all.
If I get chance tomorrow I shall take better pictures in better light.

Thanks for any info gents!
