This comes from my husband's collection
Craig Pickrall
, one of the Co-founders of the U.S. Militaria Forum who passed away Aug. 18, 2014.  He was the most awesome Militaria collector and husband.  He loved to collect and spend hours on the Forum assisting anyone who had a question to be answered, he schooled me the best he could about his collection and all the resources and books he had so I might have a clue, he did an awesome job with who he was working with and what he had going on at the time.
AS STATED ABOVE, THIS WAS MY HUSBAND’S COLLECTION.  PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT I WAS NOT THE COLLECTOR AND DO NOT CLAIM ANY EXPERTISE ON MILITRIA.  THE INFORMATION I POST COMES FROM REFERENCE BOOKS HE HAD, WHAT I CAN FIND ON THE INTERNET OR REACH OUT TO SOME OTHER COLLECTORS FOR ASSISTANCE IN IDENTIFING THE ITEM.  I DO MY BEST TO GIVE AN ACCURATE DISCRIPTION OF THE ITEM POSTED.  I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ANSWER ANY TECHNICAL QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ITEM POSTED.  THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING.
NO RETURNS
If you are bidding on an item please keep in mind I DO NOT RETURN ITEMS: these items are from a Militaria collection and are described to my best ability and from what information I can locate on the item.  If I am not sure of the era the item comes from I post the item as VINTAGE.  If you bid anyway and win the item and upon receipt of the item it does not come from the era you were hoping and wishing it was from please remember: I WILL NOT RETURN SAID ITEM. Please be certain you want the item you are bidding on.  Please ask for more photos or more information about the item because as I have stated I have no personal or expert knowledge of anything I auction from his collection.

Payment is expected within
5
days,

FEEDBACK
, Payment is expected within
5
days of auction end. I will combine shipping on items if the auctions are not longer then
4 DAYS
apart from the end of the first auction won but I need to be informed that you are bidding on other items from my auction and you wish to combine shipping.  In some circumstances items may not be able to be combined, example: I would not be able to combine 2 items together if I feel that one or both items may be damaged during packaging and or shipping.  Thank you for your understanding.
Due to the nature of VINTAGE clothing some minor wear is to be expected, I do my best to record and photograph all flaws and damage in my descriptions and images and any questions should be addressed prior to bidding as
all sales will be considered Final
. Thank you in advance for your bids and good luck!
