Very unusual piece of trench art measuring 30cm x 70cm comprised of expended bullets and cartridge casings spelling out "KEN-U-ZELF" (Flemish for "Know yourself") and mounted to red-painted shaped tin on a piece of crate wood. The tin is signed, "M. Dhaene" and the back of the wood is signed and dated, "M. Dhaene, Deynze, 1918". A simple wire nail is bent over for hanging. Clearly, this piece was not made for the tourist market, but rather, made in the field for decorating a dug-out. It has a lot of character...we really like this piece! II PLEASE READ OUR TERMS BEFORE BIDDING: Missouri residents must add 4.75% sales tax. Shipping, etc.: This item will ship by UPS Ground shipping in the USA (lower 48 states). Insurance is extra. (see chart below) Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico will be calculated at USPS Priority Mail. If you live in the lower 48 states please provide a street address for UPS delivery. Shipment to a PO Box via Priority Mail is available if necessary, but is often more expensive. See all US, Canada, and Overseas shipping rates at the bottom of the listing. We are glad to combine multiple purchases for savings on shipping. If eBay calculates a strange rate on combined shipping, let us know and we will adjust it if possible. Insurance is extra. (see chart below) Shipping Time: Our eBay sales manager works part-time. Most of the time packages go out quickly (within a few days of payment being received.) Sometimes, however, it can take a few days or even a week to get your package out the door, especially if it is going out through the Post Office. We will ship as quickly as we possibly can, but if you require same-day or next day shipment: please do not bid. SIZE of UNIFORMS: If a uniform is marked for size or if t is a tag inside, we will always have included that in the description, photos, or both. If you wish to purchase an original uniform and then go to reenactments in it, wear it to 'hanger dances', make it your new halloween costume, light it on fire just to watch it burn, or otherwise abuse it.. well, that's certainly up to you. However - we sell uniforms as collectables, not costumes. It is pretty safe to assume that all WWI or WWII military uniforms are 'small' by today's standards. If it is abnormally large, we will say so in the description. We do not measure normal small size unmarked uniforms. You should also know that even in cases w a uniform is marked a certain size by the original manufacturer, we do not guarantee that marking to be accurate (they are not always correct). We do not guarantee original uniforms to fit you, or to be serviceable for wear. They are sold as historic collectables only. This does not apply to the few reproduction items we may sell: since those are intended for wear, we are more than happy to measure them for you if necessary or to accept a return if they do not fit you. Payment: We ask successful bidders to remit payment within 10 days of auction end. PAYPAL: To make payment, you can log on to PayPal and send the total (item + shipping + insurance if you would like it) to: If you think about it, please put the ebay item number in the comments box or in the email subject line - that is most helpful in keeping transactions straight, and we appreciate it. Questions: We are glad to answer any questions you might have to the best of our ability, except for "What Size is it?" on historical uniforms. (We sell uniforms as collectables, not costumes.) Otherwise, for all other questions ask away! We will answer as soon as possible. If we are out of the office or closed for the evening, we will answer as soon as we can after we return. Guarantee: Three day inspection period. Items may be returned for a refund of the purchase price if you believe them not to be as described. (Shipping charges are not refunded.) The only exceptions are items that you alter - (don't 'clean', 'fix', or otherwise 'improve' an item and then return it) or un... read more
