Not just one nice 'Schirmmütze' in this thread but several.
I do not sense a lot of love for the collectors of chrusher caps here...

To each his own.

I agree with F-B, an excellent choice for a motto:

I am torn in my heart between the Hohenzollern part and the Habsburg part.

A stunning example and only about the 3rd I've ever seen with velvet piping. Some of these Pioneer boys really knew how to dress with style.

It's so similar to my Paul Kaps example, it's worth showing it again.

Thought I could add this pioneer crusher bought some years ago..visor still flexible
