Franz Richter & Söhne, Dresden,"Uri" "Tell", Wool possibly 1930s. This hat belongs to Stefan on the FL. My guess is it was made by one of the German Hat Factories (located in what became East Germany post WWII) that produced Wool Soft and Stiff Felt hats up to WWII. It could have also been made by FRS from sourced Wool stumps.

Franz Richter & Söhne, Dresden,"Küssnacht" "Tell", 54cm, Wool possibly 1930s. My guess is it was made by one of the German Hat Factories (located in what became East Germany post WWII) that produced Wool Soft and Stiff Felt hats up to WWII. It could have also been made by FRS from sourced Wool stumps. This hat belongs to Matt on the FL. Here is Matt's explanation of "Küssnacht" "Tell".

"The overprint on the sweatband shows a top hat and says: "Küßnacht" and under it probably "Tell".

In Küssnacht, the legend of William Tell, the Swiss national hero, has its localization..."

Franz Richter & Söhne, Dresden,"Küssnacht" "Tell", 57 cm, Wool possibly 1930s.  I very much like finding old German Wool Soft Felt Hats this one.  This Soft Felt could have been made by one of the German Hat Factories (located in what became East Germany post WWII) that produced Wool Soft and Stiff Felt hats up to WWII. It could have also been made by FRS from sourced Wool stumps from the same sources.  The Liner is extremally light weight so very delicate.  This is probably the reason the two other FRS Soft Felts (belong to Matt and Stefan) are missing their Liners.  The wide 7 cm Curled Brim is mildly flanged.

Owner's Handwritten Surname.  This a note from Gertrud the seller of the hat. "The hat is from my grandpa Franz-Xaver Schellinger. He died in 1954 and I never got to know him. He probably bought the hat in the 20's or 30's. Definitely before World War II."
