The item offered for sale is from my father's personal collection of over 50 years which began in the late 1960's through his recent passing. Back then, items were readily available directly from Veterans. We put WWII wanted signs up everywhere. Later when my interests were more of an adolescent nature, I was no longer involved in his collection which continued to obsessively grow. Since the 1980's, I only had a limited knowledge of his collection activities other than particularly neat items that he found which we talked about on the phone. His collection grew from trading, flea markets, Veteran's families, and later the internet. I never had the vast knowledge of militaria that my father did. So, mistakes on my part will be made when describing items. I have described this item to the best of my ability but I am not an expert. If you have any questions, please ask before bidding. Ask for any additional photos to help you judge if this item is for you. Returns, at buyer's expense with a 3 day inspection period from receipt of item, only for inaccurately described items. Check out my other auctions (and my brother's: ebay.com/usr/we3057-q1aep7ng?_trksid=p2053788.m1543.l2754 ) as I gradually unpack and continue to list over 50 years of collected history.On Mar-29-21 at 07:45:58 PDT, seller added the following information:US NAVY. This mask is very rare as it is from a U.S. Navy Contract (N-288) even though the mask says "US Army Air Forces". Very few of these masks were ever imprinted "US Navy".
