JOHN-
GREAT HAT! DON ABENHEIM IS CERTAINLY MISSED ON ALL OF THE ON LINE FORUMS. DRIVEN AWAY BY THE IGNORANT BARBARIANS WHO FREQUENT OUR SITES. SAD.

Outstanding nice Generals visor hat. I know silk top hats also from officer visor hats. Hard to find!

Have heard of these silk hats before but this is the only I've seen - what a beauty, is there a story behind it's acquisition ?

Stellar cap! Congratulations! Can we see inside?
Agree heartily with Bob Coleman about Mr. Abenheim. Still, I think sending fotos of this piece to him would be a beau geste.
