Hat is made of felt and leather. I do not know much about it other than it may be Austrian or some Germanic country. I leave that up to the professionals. Condition is overall good or very good. Lots of pictures taken. Interior of hat in very good condition as well. Under front edge of hat under button now some minor damage.
