Mine is from U.S. Wings - I must have gotten that thing almost twenty-years ago! The hat device is the original replica that came on the hat.

Yes that's true. Bigger sizes like my 7-5/8 are hard to come by though,...PADDY said:....the Edward Bay throws them up all the time (originals), coming in at less than a new one often. Always worth looking as we speak.
Rooster, don't do it! The US Wings crusher is complete crap! It's a total South American dictator cap, and you'll just end up hating it. The WWII Impressions cap is much, much, much better, even though it's a little more. They're currently running $145.Rooster said:Thanks for the links guys, much appreciated. I think I'll go with the US wings version. I just can't justify $200 for a crusher just to wear with a leather jacket!
Yes,...I mean no. Don't do it. Listen to Mohave Jack. The US Wings thing has a lot of plastic in it, and it's stiff as a board. I think the eagle device was even made out of plastic, now that I think of it. Hardly a serviceable crusher.Mojave Jack said:Rooster, don't do it! The US Wings crusher is complete crap!

Have been in touch with the proprietor and he says I can return it if I am not satisfied... For a $85 and a little surgery it just might work.fishmeok said:E-bay seller k-9$, a surplus guy in Chicago has a decent looking repop on e-bay for $85. At least it looks like it's made out of wool gabardine.
AND made out of cotton! I want one in tan wool.Joel Tunnah said:historypreservation.com has a nice looking one, but it's $200!
