Vintage German Trachtenhut — Mayer-Hut, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, 15 Pins Including Rare Expo 58 Badge

A genuine green wool Tyrolean hunting hat (Trachtenhut/Tirolerhut) by Mayer-Hut of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, finished with a cord band and a feather plume in a silver-tone holder. Decorated with 15 pins, including several standout pieces:

• “URSS · Bruxelles · 1958” enamel pin commemorating the Soviet Pavilion at the 1958 Brussels World’s Fair (Expo 58), referencing the Sputnik launch (4 Octobre 1957) — a genuine Cold War/Space Race-era collectible, not a typical tourist souvenir
• Rothenburg o.T. shield pin in an ornate silver repoussé crown-and-plume frame — more elaborate metalwork than standard stamped souvenir shields
• Silver hunting/shooting club medallion — a stag or marten head with crossed rifles, target, and oak-leaf wreath in a twisted rope border, consistent with German Jagdschützenverein (hunting club) badge style
• A small silver cartridge-shaped charm attached to a “Garmisch” banner with a figural horn
• Heidelberg city crest and additional enamel regional shields
• A small figural hunter charm

Details:

• Maker: Mayer-Hut, Garmisch-Partenkirchen (stamped on leather sweatband)
• Band/head circumference: 20-1/8" (51.5cm)
• Green wool felt, cord trim, feather plume
• 15 pins total, mixed enamel and silver-tone medallions

Condition: Good pre-owned vintage condition. Normal wear to felt; pins present and secure. Please review photos closely for condition of individual pins.

Note:  Down accent is delicate and shedding is normal with age/handling — some loose fibers may be present or come loose in shipping.  I will package the feather pin separately from the hat to prevent additional shedding on the hat.

Ships fast and securely, well-packaged, from a smoke-free home. Thanks for looking — check out my other vintage listings!
