Many men wore caps that were commonly called "broken" where the top cap metal cap shaping spring was removed to give the appearance of a juanty well worn field use. Some removed the chinstrap also. They were not real crushers but had that look.

Steve is correct. Remember that the popular Feldmutze Alter Art (the so called "crusher cap") was replaced by the M38 Officers Feldmutze (sidecap) in 1938. The old cap was officially only allowed to be worn until 1942. However it was always popular and many Officers prefered it, so they did all they could be wear a cap which looked like it, despite the regulations.

It is a silk top, which were available for special order. I am only aware of 5 other silk tops, so fairly uncommon.
