True, I have noticed that, but wasn't so sure how accurate that really is.
Because if you click on the name in the bidder-list to see more details ... the name changes once more and looks totally different. Has anyone notice that too?
The Resistol is a 56, so more your size.
Can you also wear a 55? I have a German Stetson Excellent Trilby that size.
Max, unfortunately it is difficult to recognize who you are competing with on eBay, because the names are masked and altered so much.
FYI:
Has anybody noticed this eBay.com seller yet? "themodelproject"
Unfortunately they don't sell hats, but it is still nice to look at their "offers" :-)
No wonder they have so many eBay followers.
Check it out and you will see what I mean:

Aha, I assumed you were my eBay competitor on that Panizza Zeffiro :-)
I won the sellers other hat offer; the German Resistol.
Sadly a little too small for me, just like the Zeffiro probably would have been.

The ribbon could be replaced, but replacing the bond-edge would be a b.....
Will naphtha or soap water get it clean?
What do you think?
Bravo and thank you for sharing your very useful detailed collection and summary of facts and finds.
I'm giving this post its own bookmark as compact Borsalino knowledge base.
How can we contribute? I for example have a Borsalino in "ossido" ... so no longer "unseen color" :)
That looks like it was hand-painted. Did you do it yourself? Wouldn't be too difficult to reproduce. Using water-colors, they could even be washed away if you don't like the result.
"flaked out on accepting opening bid" ?
Cancelled the offer prematurely, after you already went for the start price?
You could try engaging eBay services in the case; might at least effect the sellers track record.
Just won this Borsalino Extra Superiore without competition for 1,- Euro :-) ... plus 5,- Euro shipping :-(
The label says it's a model Bronzo in color Aligi, correct?
Can anyone estimate the date?
Although mistreated and out of shape; the felt, sweatband and liner seem to be in good...
I love Pork Pies aka shorter brimmed hats with telescope crowns.
Ofcourse I remember "French Connection" and Gene Hackman, but who really got me started was the character Walter White in "Breaking Bad".
