"Echter Velour", 56cm probably 1930s. There is no company mark but great Velour.

I wish it was a little more large...
Wonderful velour and hat!

Finally I got it (or it seems to be)!
Hats branded G.B. Borsalino fu Lazzaro are always a puzzle.
Were they made before the 1936 or they are produced in "Antica Casa" using the old labels and sweatband?

Bowler (Bombetta) made in Alessandria by G.B. Borsalino fu Lazzaro
I have as always some doubts but under the sweatband I found this newspaper

I look at the date and I believe it is an "original"
Now a little party in my office :)

An absolute beauty! And a time capsule to boot!

Got home and subjected the hat to some hot, steamy love after a good brushing. It desperately needs to be blocked and flanged after the way the brim was treated wherever it was stored, but I managed to get it somewhat back into shape.
I gave it a tight pinch in the front with a wide diamond crease to maximize the crown width and hopefully offset the wonky brim. No noggin shot tonight, but I expect to post one tomorrow.

That is great. A few times I have found similar newspaper in a hat...gives you a time period and some times a story!
