GERMAN WWII ARMY GENERAL STAFF OFFICERS CRUSHER CAP.

A rare colour of waffenfarbe for a crusher cap being the colour for General Staff. Although not size stamped on test possibly 56 or 57. Good quality officers material. One minor moth nip to the rear of the crown close to the waffenfarbe, another small one to the waffenfarbe itself, that is the extent of moth damage. Standard dark green centre band. Fitted with a nice set of insignia, silver Bevo woven eagle on the light tan early background material, the cockade also on a lighter apple green background in silver weave for officers, the lighter background indicating a more of a Reichswehr period.. The cap has seen considerable wear, the sweatband has deep colour remaining, there are some threads loose where it fits to the main body close to the peak, there has also been some reconstruction contemporarily to the sweatband in the opposite side peak area. Standard softening of peak. Gold rayon lining. To the rear of the leather sweatband is the name of ‘Zentner Hannover’ with a street address in Hannover, which is unfortunately indecipherable and the name also Zentner ink applied to the gold rayon lining in the area behind the leather sweatband.
