Absolutely! The Crescent brand originates from the States (started by a German immigrant). A Swede started import of Crescents, and after some amount of the Swede got copyrights of brand and name (when it came to bikes anyway). Initially even the name Monark originates from the States, spelling Monarch. The pic shows a modern-retro head decal for a line of retrostyle Crescents. The sign points out the heritage.
