you have a matched pair of AAF or GI 1st Lieutenant Silver Bars that are British made in about near mint condition. The bars feature the triangle pin back mount on the reverse that is indicative of a theatre-made set of bars (England as well as Australia). The bars represent a matched pair. Each bar measures approximately a bit larger than 1 x .375 inches and has beveled edges. Each has a pin back device and cradle on the reverse. The bars have a brilliant, mirrored finish with normal, light wear. (It is difficult to photograph bright insignia without getting reflections in the picture due to the mirrored finish and curvature of the bars.) The bars are curved for wear on a tunic or jacket. The insignia is appropriate for either the Air Corps or Army. English and Australian made US Insignia represent a highly coveted genre of collecting. Matched pairs of insignia are tough to find as officers lost insignia, swapped them, and sent bars home to family and sweet hearts. The winning bidder can choose First Class Postage with a Padded Bag and tracking slip in lieu of the usual Priority Mail Shipping option. This matched pair of pin back, British made AAF or GI 1st Lieutenant's Bars in about near mint condition featuring the Commonwealth's pin mount would make a wonderful addition, upgrade and/or completion to a WWII AAF or GI Officer's Uniform and/or Insignia collection. The bars would be perfect to add to your re-enactor's outfit, and would look terrific in your display, museums, and for educational and theatrical presentations. I am listing a number of caps, uniform items, field gear, insignia, ribbons, home front pieces, etc, this week. Please do a seller-search using my username: martinolij to check it out. Thank you. Please read this section carefully for adhering to the terms of the listing as the winning bidder is entering into a legal contract. Payment in US Dollars is due within 11 days of the listing's conclusion. I accept Pay Pal. Also, checks are fine but I generally clear them, and Money Orders, and Bank Checks ship ASAP. Items paid through Pay Pal will ship when the funds clear and are transferred to my bank account. No cash please unless you register and insure the payment package. Buyer in the States pays US Postal Service Priority Mail shipping with delivery confirmation/tracking slip, and I will combine postage for multiple purchases. W First Class Postage is offered, I insist on a padded bag and delivery tracking slip. Tracking is mandatory for all Pay Pal domestic transactions. For Pay Pal payments $250 and larger, a signature return receipt is mandatory. If outside the States this will change. I ship world wide for all countries recognized by Pay Pal. I will present shipping costs (Global Express and Airmail Parcel Post) for larger items through an invoice and contact email. Insurance and tracking on large size or large dollar items are mandatory. Smaller items can be shipped easily, safely and affordably in a Global Priority Flat Envelope for five dollars and fifty cents (most countries participate in Global Priority). Surface mail will not be an option. International Bidders must pay in US Dollars. First time international bidders (to my listings) must use Pay Pal. No cash for first time bidders. I will consider other methods of payment for repeat international bidders only. Pay Pal transactions of $250 or over will also require a signature return receipt document or another incremental method of tracking. Please factor this in your decision to bid. I save all Postal Service Receipts as well as copies of your payment as proof of delivery and completion of the transaction. The mail is not infallible and that is why insurance is available to you (your choice/option) for domestic and international transactions. It is your responsibility to understand and ad to these terms. I have enjoyed interacting with buyers from four continents and dozens of countries. Many have been veterans, active duty GIs, home front family members in our war on terror, authors, artists, teachers, museum... read more
