Actually 2 lines from 2 previous pinches. I'm speculating on thin evidence that the Raiders hat had a normal dead center front pinch to begin with, before it was pinched about 1/2 inch off center in both directions. If you have a tight Raiders pinch, and you pop out your front dents, you'll see a thin line of fuzz sticking out from the hat where the pinch was. if you look carefully, you'll also see a fertile crecent of fuzz where the pinch flattens and fans out before contacting the top of the ribbon. The first picture shows a huge ball of fuzz at the very top of one of the old pinches, and a smaller fuzzball to it's right at the top of the second pinch.
The second picture shows where those fuzzy old crecents above the ribbon caught some dust, plus the fuzz lines. The top of the line close to the front of the hat swings toward the rearward one, but fuzz will do that sometimes!
If it's ever proven to be true, and you have a long oval head, you might be able turn your old hat without worrying about the old pinch. I'm on the verge? of putting these extra pinches in my PBBM then switching back. I have always been aware of a raised area to the left of the pinch and wondered why It wasn't there in my turned hat. I think this is why- Plus I'm hoping I'll end up getting the inward crease that disappears under the ribbon! Wait --- I could be wrong about this....
