BenVK, Lets see your caps added here

Will do my friend, just need to take new photos of them.

That eReL is a stunner!

[ErichK]

Please show em Erich! did you get that Pioneer with the velvet piping? who was the maker of that one BTW?

The PIONEER was a Schellenburg but I don't have the distributors name, It was way out of my league. I am ecstatic to have gotten a Mint Recon piped officer visor.
I'll post pic's when I get home.

Did someone say there was a Pioneer crusher cap for sale at the show?? Anyone got details? Man I wish we had a decent show here in Australia - so far away from the rest of the goodies over here...

Oh, and again, some awesome crushers here! Yes this thread should be pinned

Kurt, your infantry Erel crusher is one of the best on the thread. It is absolutely unbelievable. If you ever want to pass it on, you know who to call. I believe I have its older, vet brother. Jacques

Matt, thanx for the extra pics on your Gebirgsjager Erel. It is stunning and one of those once in a lifetime items. Jacques

I have an Alter Arte Infantry crusher I have owned for a long time.
I have decided to sell it and took it to the Indy show Saturday.

An older fellow had a table of German stuff.

He went into a spiel about how it was "only an EM" cap as it had no cord.

I am in my 60s and have seen a thing or two.

His response was that I had not managed to learn much over the years.

Some folks are simply compelled to try and cheat you.

They cannot help themselves.

Some nice pieces displayed here.

Agreed, but I LOVE what I see!

Just realized I could add two of my new crushers to this thread. Here is my Cavalry Erel crusher:

those are some very nice and rare crusher variations. I only have three as I recently gave everything that was not Panzer or Stug up. The first one is an unfortunately denazified Panzer crusher which a friend of mine got from the family. I also have his overcoat and tunic.
