- Description
- A well-worn, light brown, felt cowboy hat with a crease in the the crown and a turned-up brim on both sides. The sweatband is missing, in its stead are the remnants of thread and glue with holes punched in at intervals where a cord is threaded through so the hat will stay on the head. There is an oval of white glue on the inside crown where a label may have been. There is also the remnants of a paper label from Smithbilt hats (2.3x1.0cm wide) in white with blue outline and lettering “BILT”. There are three brands marked on the hat: Albert Johnston’s, on the back, of an “R and half-circle” (2.4cm); from the front, viewer’s right, a “Y” (3.2x3.0cm wide) with a straight line underneath (the threaded gold cord is tied directly under this); on the opposite side, viewer’s left, is a drawing of a broken ski pole (2.5x2.8cm wide) that is Erling Strom’s brand. There are chew marks on the brim, a large one 6.0 long and up to 1.0cm deep, 4.0cm to the left of this is another chew mark 0.50cm and a tear 1.0cm.

- Circular metal and enamel pin with the inner circle containing a stylized mountain on the top-third of a segmented globe on a blue enamel background, Above the circle are the letters “UIAGM” and below “IVBV”. The outer ring of the circular pin has these words printed on it “GUIDE DE MONTAGNES GUIDA BERGFUHRER”. The front of the pin is coated with clear plastic, presumably for protection from the elements as it must be worn when guiding. The back of the pin has two horizontal hinged pins on two separate pin sets with a swivel-locking safety catch for each of the pins. In between the pin sets is a rectangular box with the letter “K” on top and then “KOFEL-BZ”.
