habigman Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Deutscher Schützenhut (German Shooting Hat), no company marks, size 58cm, Open Crown 6 inches, Loden Wool or Loden Wool - Fur Blend, with Crease Clip. The hat shop (Hermann Krause) the Crease Clip was in Reichenbach im Vogtland, Saxony and the seller is from Saxony. Clip (could be pre WWII) was added later. The Schützenhut feather is original to the hat. My guess is the hat is from the early 1950s when Shooting Clubs were allowed again in West Germany (I believe they were also banned under the Nazis). Update! (I am starting to have second thoughts on this hat. It might actually be much older than I previously thought. Could be late 1920s? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
