Davejb Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 I thought I would post some of the German Hat/cap makers and their distributors, it may help some of the members who may start to collect German caps, These are not all of the makers out there but some of the more frequently seen, I hope it proves useful. A dalbert Breiter..................Munchen Albert Schweizer................Beyreuth Alhers Tradition..................Potsdam Alfred Valet.........................Bad Connstadt Alois Kattinger....................Wein Aloyse Mies(Almi)..............Koblenz August Muller....................Munchen (heavily faked) August Schanze................Burg bm August Schellenberg.........Berlin (may differ on labels) (faked) Bennewite.........................Wurzen Am markt Beste Qualitat...................Unknown Bleyer Uniformhaus..........Luneberg C.Lois Weber....................Hannover Carl Baugert.....................Koblenz Carl Bulow & Sohn...........Podejuch Carl Halfar........................Berlin Carl Isken.........................Koln If there are any more that someone wishes to add then please do so, these are a selection which I have had on lists over the years, but I am sure there are many more. 1 2
w4uvv Posted July 2, 2017 Posted July 2, 2017 Thanks for the list but it is virtually useless if their assigned RZM numbers also are not listed. Also, as the war progressed Officers and NCO were authorized to contract with tailors bypassing RZM licensed tailors. Some of the contracted tailors sometimes were in Belgium and other Nazi "protected" conquered countries. Mr. Salis has attempted as an added section to one of his newer books regarding. John 1
