Pioneer Officers "Crusher" Visor -Schirmmütze
Category:
£1,350.00
This is one great looking Heer Pioneer Crusher Cap! This cap has just right amount of wear, and no doubt saw use ...but not abused.
The cap is made of a doeskin wool and has lost most of its nap giving it a coarser appearance.
A small nip to the back end of the cap. Early black wool piping runs the perimeter of the caps crown and bands. A hand sewn green backed flatware Eagle is very oxidised and hand sewn to the front . The cockade is the metal type and the wreath is also hand sewn to the green band below the eagle.
The visor is made of leather which is still very pliable and exhibits light crazing. The sweatband is in excellent condition with no rips or tears
The cap is lined and hand stitched with the correct long stitch with a artificial silk that shows dirt and sweat staining from use. There are a number of stamps inside the cap on the lining - one of which is the maker, but I cannot read it as it is so faint
I believe the stamps to be "Russian Film stamps" as they used a lot of original uniforms and equipment after the war - and many came to the market when the USSR collapsed in 1988/9 This has only been in one collection and is now offered for sale for the very first time
A wonderful looking Heer Pioneer Crusher Cap that will make a nice addition to your collection.
