Is there a "clear beaver" stamp at the front of the sweatband? Here's mine for comparison

Pre-WW1 JHS Melone. Unfortunately a size 57cm and with some minor front crown indentations. Could probably be steamed out.
Worked on at some point - the liner has been taped back into place and no paper labels to be found. Disappointing.
That work bench sure looks familiar to me as does the hand dyed ribbon. And if it is indeed a BSHW then I also know what that edge is. But I won’t spoil the surprise.

Afraid I'm the culprit, Stefan. Will post detailed photos if the seller is willing to ship to the states. Haven't heard back yet.
Steve was able to find some info on the retailer:
