better pics of crusher bill, soft leather

Agree, good eye Nick! Never heard of this repro site before, they seem to make a little better than average repros. Should be a law requiring permanent marking on repro's. Think I'll write my congressman ... right!!

loose stitching now

IMO inside stitching looks better than most, coming loose now, but $185 for a repro??? Well, this shows he sold at least one to someone in Arizona smile... Most of the stuff from this lot was original and nice, but not all. At first I thought the this FG crusher may be original as I listened to collector friends, long time 40-50 plus years experienced collectors. One "recognized" the sweatband as real, so the cap was real. NOT!!

Thanks for insight. It is an early one issued for a short time beginning 1938. No date but found from another member the tunic is an early pattern Feldblouse. I'm sure this is a stretch, but here is the crusher that came with it.

I have doubts about this crusher. I don´t like the eagle and cocarde.

Sorry, didnt recognaize the second site of this Thread
