I have based the Swiss thing on the Label saying Zurich & Basel.
Feels really nice and it's only a 57 but the brim and and crown make it look bigger

Paddy, Thanks! It's a fantastic Homburg! I am not aware of Botta or Fein & Kaller. I will have to do some research. Looks like 3/52 on the price tag might be a date.

Thanks Steve. Yes he fits but no paper label inside. He is in good condition outside, inside at the sweatband in the front area it's been shrunk a bit. It could be from steam
I guess the preowner steamed the front of the hat to long

Sorry to hear about the sweatband but now I see the damage from the photos. Also I don't think I have seen the "Flexible" designation for a soft felt JHS. It has always been on JHS stiff felts. Again great find!

Thanks Steve. In the first moment when I saw that sweatband I knew that it's unusual on that hat.!
He is super soft and has a light weight, also the price. 8,00 EUR I guess is a bargain for him!
