ORIGINAL WWII US ARMY LIGHTWEIGHT SERVICE GAS MASK WITH BAG This is an original WWII Infantry lightweight service gas mask with bag in great condition . This is the later war version used by the Army between 1943 and 1944. The mask itself is in great condition and the rubber is nice and supple. Dated 44 (see picture #5). This would be perfect for living history displays or collection. I will also combine auctions and accept local pick up. I recently have been having good luck once again selling to some overseas locations. I have been shipping world wide, but will still not ship to certain countries nor will I ship to APO's. However, certain items CANNOT be shipped outside the United States such as military radio equipment. I will not bend, tweek or break any laws restricting the shipping of certain items. Comes from a smoke free home, feel free to ask questions. PAYPAL ONLY , I will ship within 3 business days of receipt of payment. I will only charge for shipping. I will NOT charge or pad my auction with handling charges. If there is an overcharge in shipping I will refund the difference. ABOUT HANDLING CHARGES : I still hate handling charges and view them as a loop hole for some unreputable sellers to increase their profits. I won't use handling charges unless a buyer requests special services. ABOUT POSTAGE RATES . I do refund any excess postage the eBay shipping calculator charges if and when it happens and it does. If postage comes out to more, I eat that cost so I try to be careful about postage. I never deliberately try to increase profit by boosting postage. That has been suggested by a couple of people. You know what? Just because you had something shipped from somebody that came from someplace else cheaper doesn't mean it's that cost for all 50 states. And size of the box determines excess postage sometimes. When anything gets over 12 inches in width, length or depth some postage goes sky high. That's why I OFFER OPTIONS, because some postage will be much cheaper. I had one brainiack tell me something was outrageous and yes, the Priority shipping was very high, but if Dr. Spock there had bothered to look at the optional shipping he would have seen it could have been shipped three times cheaper via Parcel Post. Sometimes when this happens and I notice it I try to bring that to the attention of the buyer and will refund if they made a mistake after payment. You would be surprised to know how many people just accept Priority shipping without even thinking or looking at the optional shipping rates. INTERNATIONAL POSTAL RATES I have been accused by more than one person that I am over charging on shipping for profit. Guess what! I DO NOT SET THE POSTAL RATES, THEY ARE COMPLETELY AUTOMATED BY THE EBAY SHIPPING CALCULATOR. After an auction is over I will do my best to try to cut the shipping down if I can and I am still somewhat new to international shipping at this point. I did ship internationally a couple years ago and for the last couple years after that experience completely REFUSED to ship internationally because of the problems involved and the money I lost. I keep my shipping costs down as much as I can so any time I get screwed it hurts a lot and if this should happen again I will again shut down my international sales, this time probably for good. eBay has made shipping internationally far easier and safer than in the past but there are still problems. First the US Postal Service online customs forms will only print on half sheet sized paper and the envelopes the Post Office uses are even bigger so if the box is smaller, you have to hand fill out a new form, take it in and get charged MORE as you lose the online shipping discounts when that happens so to use the Online customs forms I have to use boxes that will fit the form. Sure some auction items will easily fit in a small flat rate Priority box or even smaller, but the Custom Form will not. That is Government at work. Thank you USPS. A few countries are much friendlier to ship to than others. ... read more
