Waffen ss crusher cap

The answer to BenVk

Hi BenVk, it seems like it took you a long time to get into the discussion. It's very strange of you. Usually you are much faster.
Compared to your post from 2005, I quote:
"Some very sloppy stitching around the sweatband which I wouldn't expect with an erel which needs to be studied closely. The rest looks good from what I can see but a hands on is definitely needed with this one. I'd be happy to inspect the cap if you want to send it to London ".
You seem much more severe today, I quote:
"This crusher has numerous red flags IMO which I tried to point out back in 2015 but my offer to inspect it personally was never taken up so that was that".
There is a total contradiction between your 2 posts
In the first, there is just the sloppy stitching that bothers you.
And then you say: The rest looks good from what I can see
I'm going to show you what "Some very sloppy stitching around the sweatband" is. It has absolutely nothing to do with the authenticity of this crusher. I'll prove it easily.
And today, oddly enough, you say: "This crusher has numerous red flags".
It doesn't seem serious to you. You discredited yourself by saying everything and its opposite.
And I will finish by saying this:
If you were convinced that this crusher was a bad crap, you wouldn't have asked for it to be sent to you.
The photos of "sloppy stitching" will follow.

You said Ben discredited himself. Which he did not. That is very insulting. I don't see how that was a mystery to you.

You need to be happy that i had a good Day and not called you something else. So far, i would say you can now ride with your Hat into the Sunset and enjoy it as what it really is. Ah, and btw before i forget that, remember you ask me for a Bet what i agreed to. So far, looks like you need now this:

and then we done.

Once again, you did not answer my question.
And about the bet, it's when you want.
If you want to lose money, now is the time.
Have a good night, Peter

Hello everyone, I want to thank all the readers of this thread. I received a lot of encouraging PMs, as for how I defended this SS crusher, but also in relation to this extremely rare piece of headgear. As a result, I have received many incredible offers.
I attach below part of an email sent to me by an emblematic figure in the world of the collection. By confidentiality, I will not reveal who it is.

''Well a few smart people are starting to realize your arguments are logical and coherent.
I am studying other Erel crushers and everything I am seeing points to your cap being original. Everything!
I am still studying your cap.
I cannot wait to see it in hand. I am sure it glows in person.
I do not think you should ship it anywhere.
When proven wrong few will admit fault. None like the ego bruise.
The hat was so rare I was doubtful...but I kept objectively reading your post and researching the cap. I say real.
I am not jealous of you but I want your cap!!! Lol''

Its anyhow not interesting who sends you messages. But be happy when you like your messages.
On your side I would sell it quick as you might will have otherwise a hard time to sell it.

I am studying,I am still studying,I do not think you should ship it anywhere,I am not jealous of you but I want your cap!!! Lol''

Indeed.

I manage my collection as I see fit. So I'm not expecting any advice about selling this crusher from anyone.
It is not only a proposal that I received, but 6.
I'm not here to talk about money, but if I told you the most important offer I have received, you could pay yourself a few years of vacation in the Bahamas.
And if I told you who made such offers, you'd be hard pressed to believe me. Now that's enough, these comments are frankly useless and detract from the proper functioning of the forum.
