I believe HS 195 is Heinrich Willie of Hannover.
Here is another by Willie, with a peak so high that I doubt a bird could perch on it:
The HS label:
Note the chinstrap button prong (on both items) pierced through the label - an odd characteristic of this maker.
Hi Anders, I like your turn of phrase "silly old hat". I think you have been hanging around with "FB" too long
It looks like a superb example.
The detail about the cap buttons is a nice trait to know about. Thanks Bruce.
Cheers, Ade.
I have seen or examined at least 6 Willie's, possibly 7, and they have all shown the pierced label.
