If you have a Serbian, Rumanian, Czechoslovakian or even a Belgian WWI mannequin and don't think you will ever find an appropriate pair of shoes, these might be the pair for you. They served us well on an early war Poilu mannequin until the lucky day when we were able to actually find a pair of WWI French shoes. Black, rough out hobnailed pair of shoes with riveted reinforcement at the upper / vamp junction, and seven evenly spaced pairs of metal lace grommets. Leather is stiff and Pecard free. Two hobnails missing from each shoe. Leather laces present. Unmarked but clearly the style worn, ca. 1905-1925. 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. Check orders are held for 10 business days following our receipt of funds. Overseas customers can use their credit card, PayPal, or we also accept Dollars or Euros by registered mail. 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 a... read more
