    General's crusher, by request

    For evaluation please, this crusher. There is no story behind this, other than that the guy I got this from bought it as an original. I am skeptical of it and am hesitant to even post it but have never owned any crusher or General's headgear and I don't know anything about these, I can't formulate any strong opinion about it. The sweat shield seems to me to be celluloid and not plastic, I didn't see any errant stitch holes or open pleats. Other than that I will let the pictures do the talking- have at it. I can make more and better pictures if needed.

          Piping joins. If there is anything else I need to show, let me know. If it's good I will sell it and if not, it will go back where it came from, so no worries, all comments are welcome.

                whole thing looks like a postwar cap even down to the lining and sweatband imo a bad one

                  Just the general shape of the cap, along with many poorly done details, just scream fake , to me at least.

                        Gound up fake, Chris, IMO, but never apologize for posting something - you may save somebody a s#itload of money down the road.

                          Wise words DonC ... Chris, I'd say not all is lost. It looks like you have an original BeVo wreath on there. The eagle looks less convincing (also it's the later golden type which doesn't match the wreath). Still, could you post better pics of the eagle as well? If real, you have a couple of hundred bucks right there... Kurt
