hi,
I have a Black rubberized kriegsmarine foul weather hat
with BIG yellow stenciled lettering "Minen Abt 7" on front and
" Pola 7" on back.

Inside the hat,
Liner stamped "Schmid" and "RB NR 91"

May I know what kind of hat is this?

anyone know the meaning of "Minen Abt"?

regards
kenneth

Abt means Abteilung (Unit)

I would guess that your hat is from the Kaiserlichen marine (WW1)
Your description could fit, and Pola was the name of a German ww1 navy shipyard......

Could you post a photo???

According to the information
Pola is actually a German U-Boat based in italy (if I'm not mistaken).

I will post the photo soon.
