Stefan, Very sharp looking! I have a "Carrera" (from Manfred) but I like how this one is creased. Great photo too. Some nice hats in the background.Haven't seen one like this before and the size was uncertain. Took a chance on it and it worked out.
Wegener Carrera in Biber quality, colour is called Kastell. Zize 56 with the overwelt brim with a double row of stitches at 6cm and crown at 10cm at the front. Likely some beaver content to the felt because of the quality name and a very nice hand to it at least. Quite a pronounced brim curve in the back, while the front is quite flat.
Paul Orlob of Düsseldorf came from a line of furriers, of which there were traditionally quite a few in that city.
This is a picture of Gunther Orlob, Pauls Father I believe, and an associate.
