Does anyone know about the maker APG?

Guys i cant find the maker APG, anyone know who that is? and are they a rare maker of such hats?

Many of the makers of Tropenhelms are not known, as many just use their initials such as in this case.

Some are shown here, but most are not known who the makers were. this thread needs updating as more examples have since been found and where the makers have since been discovered I have them in my data base.

Can you post a picture or at least say who it is so I can add it to the data base when I have the time, or you can add it to the thread/

Anton Pichler... Graz, a well know Austrian felt hat maker apparently

DOH!

But at least now we have some good solid info.
