Thanks! It was made by Hückel Weilheim (West Germany) so 1950s. I think later mid 1950s is about right. I think you are correct about the Initial Pins but the shop that sold them might have had old stock (or the owner had access to). I don't remove them but that is just a personal choice (if removed they will leave slits in the sweatband). I wear Homburg style hats all the time. Today it's just another hat style.
