Germany, Third Reich. A Forestry Service Fedora, by W. Michovius

(Forsthut). A well-preserved Forestry Service fedora, constructed of pressed forest-green. It features an upturned rim, fully trimmed along the edge with a layer of forest-green wool. The cylinder is similarly stitched with a wide forest-green wool, with the left side stitched with a magnetic metal tri-colour cockade, situated above the remnants of a brush which has since been cut off. Pinned to the peak is an aluminum insignia consisting of a government-style German national eagle clutching a wreathed mobile swastika, measuring 54 mm (w) x 40 mm (h). The interior features a brown leather sweatband, maker marked “W. MICHOVIUS, COTTBUS”, indicating manufacture by a firm noted for producing Forest Service headgear. It measures approximately 20 cm (w) x 30 cm (l) x 17 cm (h). It demonstrates no notable damage or wear with the exception of the missing brush, and is in a near extremely fine condition.
