Watch List notes:

Rare Palestine Police Kolpak wool hat, 1947 by M and J Goldstein Limited. The hat is in mint condition and aparently unused. The piece does not come with the standard white-metal Palestine Police hat badge (easy to aquire), but the hat does sport the ornamental "PP" button on its left side. Well made, with thick external layer of wool and interior leather sweat-band lining. Inside, the hat is maker-marked on 3 lines in yellow: "M. & J. Goldstein Ltd. 1947 [size] 7". This was a British (possibly Jewish) firm which produced headwear throughout the British Empire, at least into the 1950's but as of today is defunct.
