SIGNALS CRASH cap

[Dave Kane]

Carlo, if I may answer prior to Nick...no!

The 'crush or crusher type' that Nick references is a type of cap that attempts to emulate the 'LOOK' of the very much favored M37 officer's field cap.

While a true M37 cap (commonly known as a crush or crusher) is very light, flexible and bears the flatwire insignia the 'crush type' for lackof a better term do not.

Typically the 'crush type' cap will be a bit heavier, thicker and bear metal. bullion or even flatwire insignia they were (I think) an attempt to obtain a jaunty look while staying w/ in the guidlines for the Officer's caps...ie style, and required chinstrap.

The frame of these 'crush type' caps isn't as rigid as a normal visor but not nearly as pliable as the original style M37.

The 'crush type' do present well because they aren't as crushed, flattened or folded yet portray a jaunty, been there, edgy appearance!!

Thanks Dave, Carlo my knowledge of these it pretty much limited to what Dave says. I guess I am still just a good old fashion Schirmmutze guy.
