Paddy has recently posted some items for sale, and one of those items he lists is a fur-felt crusher. The phrase got me thinking. Dave could probably jump in here (and sorry Paddy for jumping on your words.. I'm just being curious, I mean no harm or disrespect to you or your posting) is a service-cap or visor-cap that's stiff and rigid and not intentionally a Crusher (IE: Bancroft Flighter, Lewis Flyweight, etc) still a 'Crusher'? I asked this question of some locals and was told by a number of collectors that the molding of non-intentionally-designed-visor caps into crushed caps is a post war way to make a lesser value cap have the AAF crusher 'look'. Did the vets crush the fur felt caps, or was it just the true Crushers only back then?
