SSVT Crusher

**drbill** · 02-19-2021, 09:47 PM

Here is my SSVT Crusher. Made of similar but different material, fg combat wool. Liner and sweatband are identical. Adler and Totenkopf are believed to be replacements/reproductions. Currently looking for nice pair of original insignia . Came out of 50+ year collection in Florida after collector's death. Purchased 30-35 years ago at Maxx.

That cap is worthy of a nice set of original insignia. Those caps are currently selling for astronomical prices. Cant wait to see it decked out. Good Luck

There are two crusher's to examine: a size 55 and a size 55 1/2.
Is that correct?

Sorry, the 55 1/2 is from another collector and is a Mollo find from early 70s-80s for compariison. My crusher is the size 55, with reproduction insignia. It was purchased out of 50 year collection in Florida when owner died. It had the reproduction insignia on it then. Was reportedly purchased in late 70's-early 80's at the Max by original collector.
