That is a beauty, Bob. Pity it doesn't fit you. Hard to say exactly, but these "classic" Barbisio hats may be earlier than you think. I believe they made them from the early fifties to the mid sixties. The style and finishings on this one suggest an earlier example, so I'd say fifties for this hat.

Thanks Stefan! Good to know.
Qualità speciale in a green colour called Dresda. Talpa (longhair) finish. Size 57 with the overwelt brim at 5cm and the crown at 10,5cm at the center dent. Barbisio is definitely the maker, even though the name doesn't appear anywhere on the hat. I was actually sent two of these. I guess seller got a bit mixed up.
Qualità speciale in the green Dresda colour (I worry about myself 
). Size 57 with the raw edge brim at 5cm and the crown at 10,5cm at the center dent. This one and the next one have the nices felt of the bunch. Thin and sturdy, but not stiff, felt with a lovely hand. A lot like nutria felt. Lightweight too, weighing only 96 grams. I think this one is a keeper.
