Hello, nice hat, I have a similar hat, how did you clean the water mark in the top?
There are several threads covering the subject of cleaning hats. If it's just water it shouldn't leave a stain. Have a look here:

Buy a hat brush and give all your hats an occasional brushing. Amazon sells them, they are cheap to buy and well worth it.

Well, there isn't much to go on if these are the only available pictures. We can just say it's a homburg hat sold by Armando Gusto of Bologna and there seems to be quite a bit of staining on the hat. And that's it really.

I am working to clean it, I will post more pictures once this is clean, I am brushing and steam the stain areas. I hope I could clean it.

That's a lot better. It's a Gulaela in the colour opale. Gulaela is the most common homburg model by Borsalino and opale is one of their many grey colours. The liner could be chosen by the retailer and therefore the "qualitá superlativa" doesn't really mean anything. It dates from the mid to late fifties. A very beautiful hat. I hope it cleans up well.
