Lubstein Sonderanfertigung black cap ca. 1936

[Friedrich-Berthold]

This cap was posted on the awful website, and comprises a Lubstein Sonderanfertigung cap of early make, ca. 1936 or so, with an interesting mark on the inner lining that I had not seen. This cap is quite rare. I do not know about its badges. It is said to have come from a Moravian Kostumfundus ca. 1989, i.e. the great Moravian metropolis of Brno. Of course, in its time, the real Moravian Metropolis was.....Wien.

One generally sees caps of this type made by the Bavarian firm of Mueller, but Lubstein made many black caps.

Some will be put off by this piece, but it strikes me as authentic, even if not as lovely as some.
I guess the badges are re done, but these ex Czech items are usually that way and no less interesting.
