Outstanding early crusher in fantastic shape!

Thanks for all the comments so far, I'm really happy this has received such positive feedback. I didn't realize how rare panzer crushers are until I started looking for one. I have to think this could be one of the earliest in existence.

Chris (90th Light) thanks for that link, really enjoying that thread!

@RDG51, the capband is actually a dark green. The camera flash has made it look a lot darker.

BaselA, over the years, I have found a couple of crushers for my own collection as well (and branch colors like Chaplain, Gebirgsjäger & TSD) but never a pink piped crusher.

It has all been said already, I would say you probably own the only surviving example with this type of wreath piped in pink ... Kurt

Oh just a couple Kurt? More like a couple dozen You are the king of crushers! Thanks very much for the comment - it is cool to think I may own the last surviving example of something

I realized today that every Erel alter art I've seen has been from the OKK. Has anyone else noticed this?

I have to believe these were available for private purchase as well, just like schirmmützen.

Terrific score, Basel--nothing like an early one, and a Pz to boot!

Truly amazing cap, thanks for showing it!

Thanks Jack and stonemint. It certainly is raining Pz crushers lately
