Hey Everyone! I have got today just one of the many visor caps that I will be selling over the next few months. Please continue to watch my other auctions for more outstanding items to come! Up today is a magnificent WWII US Army Air Force Officer's crusher-style visor cap. This is NOT what is commonly referred to as a "true crusher," which has a foldable visor and body. Rather, the original owner of this cap bent the wire stiffner to give the cap the crushed look. This is a good looking cap! The cap has a wool top in excellent condition (I only noticed one tiny moth nip). Encircling the cap is a wonderful OD mohair band. The visor, chinstrap, and backstrap are supple and in superb shape! The screwback brass eagle on the front of the cap has developed a nice patina and is marked "Acid Test" on the reverse. The cap has a supple leather sweatband (90% attached). The sweat liner has carmelized like most WWII caps. The cap was manufactured by Bancroft, "Built to Endure." The cap is not marked with regards to size, but I would estimate it at a size 7 1/8. This cap was worn by an pilot in the 8th Air Force. This really is an excellent cap! What a wonderful addition this cap would make to any collection! I will work with you to make this a great experience as buying on ebay should be. All questions are more than welcome and heartily
