I'm a bit rusty on my visors and willing to admit that so best wait for Mr Mint or others with more knowledge.

But I've been looking at this one for a bit and I don't feel comfortable. I don't think I've seen a chin strap like that and the over all construction on the exterior seems very sloppy. The piping appears to be uneven and flat in some areas and round in others.

As noted, best wait for others. Happy to be proven wrong.

It looks like a miniature cap made for a model of some form to me.....

Hallo Hannes2109, willkommen im Club!

IMHO:

Attachment 1038582

Habig was an Austrian hatmaker (fedora hats) no caps, see here: P. & C. Habig Hutfabrik - Austrian Hat Companies - Invision Power Board

Fabric, piping, reattached peak and the hat-sweatband make it clear for me. Das ist Heimarbeit, da muss jemand noch viel lernen.

Hannes--
Is it a normal sized cap, or is it a miniature salesman's sample? It looks very small.

Lieber Kollege,
dem Propheten im eigenen Land glaubt man nicht, oder ich war nicht klar genug: das ist eine Bastlerarbeit des 4. Reiches, die Gründe lege ich gerne nochmals per p.m. dar, um hier nicht den Fälschern die Arbeit zu erleichtern.

It is not of the period 33-45
