Crush Cap

Here is what Jerrry is talking about. This is a crusher that has no cardboard just a buckram type material with some kind of coating over it. Then there is a cloth covered flat metal spring so the cap would pop back into shape after being folded.

Another shot, Hard to get pics and hold the lining back.

Here is the metal spring where it has torn through the cloth cover. The sping runs along only the sides of the cap.

In fact, a true crush cap is extremely rare.

I understand....I wonder however, will you show us some?
I'd like to learn about them!

Crusher

Being constructed this way it can be folded in half. I have done this once to test it out It survived and popped right back.

Exactly Sayle . Thats a true field crush cap.Designed to be folded up etc. not a stiff backed old style cap. Which everybody confuses as a true crush cap. They are usually very light weight & have no padding etc.

I'd love a gander at the entire cap Sayle...A General (crush cap) should be an interesting study!

Jerry, don't be shy...let's see yours

You see I am not only a collector of Third Reich militaria I also build and race cars and have been doing it for just as long. Customs and Hot rods are my passion And sorry Dave I only own that one crusher all my other caps are just SS officers visors.
