Hi friends, first, thank you very much for of all for your time and willingness to help me in identifying my Borsalino. Second, I scored it today at a garage sale. It was late morning, around 10am, I stopped, and saw it on top of an old lamp. The minute I saw it, I knew that it was something very special. I turned it around and saw the different marking, and knew that it was an excellent quality hat. The hat has a little tag that indicates it measures 6.5". The Borsalino is in lovely condition with no tears or scuff marks, stains, etc. The only challenge is the torn lining, but at least we can see the markings! :-) I sincerely thank you for your help in further dating and identification.

Sweet hat ! Very nice condition . I'm glad you acquired it before moths & mice did . I don't think the lining tear is important , when your'e wearing it - who cares about the lining tear

You'll definitely have no problem selling it (if you plan to), antique/vintage fedora collecting has a very strong following, and people will pay crazy amounts for the right hat. Nice find!
