WH (Heer) Infantry 'Crusher' Visor Cap
WH (Heer) Infantry Officer's Crusher style Visor Cap (Schirmmütze), also called 'Knautschmütze'. Visor caps were a standard item for all armed forces personnel during the Third Reich period. Although enlisted personnel were issued their caps from government supplies they were also permitted to purchase privately tailored caps. This is a nice privately purchased Officer's cap with leather visor being a so called 'Crusher' cap (Alter-Art). The manufacturers sweat-diamond ('Raute') is present but can't be read anymore. The cap has no visible size markings, the size is approximately 56cms. The visor cap is piped in the hard to find white 'Truppenfarbe' (branch-colour) for Infantry personnel. The leather sweatband is in good used condition. The cap is complete with its original flat-wire woven cap-eagle and cocarde. The cap shows normal traces of usage and wear and some small (moth)damages, the cap has a great shape and combat worn look. Stunning original crusher!
