ORIGINAL WWII US ARMY M2 GAS MASK 1942 DATED WITH M2A2 BAG This is an M2 lightweight gas mask with bag in Very good to excellent condition. Very clean and an excellent display piece dated 1942 on the mask. I did not see any damage, holes, tears or repairs to the bag. DISPLAY condition. I would NEVER consider actually using a 71 year old gas mask. These were only in service with the US Army for one year before being replaced with the lightweight gas mask. Lenses have slightly yellowed but are still in good shape, not warped or clouded. The elastic straps on the mask still have stretch to them but after this many years if you try to stretch them they will probably lose their ability to stretch. I will also combine auctions and accept local pick up. 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 1 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. NO I WILL NOT GIVE A DAMAGE REFUND OR DISCOUNT if it's damaged in transit. You DO have a FOURTEEN DAY RIGHT OF INSPECTION and return it (at buyer's cost) for a full refund of the auction bid amount. I have had more than one person tell me they wanted some money back for damage they wouldn't prove. Basically they wanted to get a kick back for what they bought. It's doesn't mean I won't work with somebody if it's a reasonable request, but sometimes people just have to have a little something extra after all is said and done. I try to pack things as best I can, and if I feel I was amiss on that I will gladly work with somebody. Sometimes I forget people value boxes and packaging and I can feel their pain so if I feel I didn't package something good enough I am more than happy to work with someone. Most of the time I am very careful although I do try to use whatever boxes I can find instead of buying them to keep from charging a handling fee. PAYMENT MUST BE RECEIVED WITHIN 5 DAYS. Or I will file a claim with eBay and relist item for sale. read more
