Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:778950 | Type: Collar Rank |
Country/Region of Manufacture: Japan |
I have had these items in my Collection for over 30 years and it's time to pass them on to someone who will enjoy them as I have. I received these and many other items from WW2 CBI Veteran-friends who I was corresponding with many years ago.I don't know much more about these, as they were something he considered to be a "Souvenir" of his time in the China-Burma-India Theater wi...th the Air Transport Command (ATC) and the only thing he told me was that he MAY have won them in a card game! They are a matched 'set, ' and appear to be unused / unissued, NEAR MINT Condition. They are the Felt construction I have seen in other authentic WW2 JAAF Items, with the bullion-style ribbon, and the Stars appear to be made of Nickel or perhaps silver - very attractive.
I keep my Starting Price reasonable so that anyone - old-timers or those who are new to collecting, can enjoy our shared passion without going broke. I will accept returns if there is something I have failed to describe accurately. CHECK OUT MY FEEDBACK too! Thank you
Condition:Condition is EXCELLENT. PLEASE take a good look at the photos as they are an important part of the item’s description.
Shipping:This will fit into a USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate Envelope; I'll set up the auction information with that in mind. You may be able to get a better price based on your location if you wish to explore options at the USPS Website and let me know. And if you have any special needs (such as insurance, special handling, or 'local pickup'), PLEASE let me know so I can make adjustments to shipping costs at the end.
International buyers please note: Import duties, taxes, and charges aren't included in the item price or postage cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying. Thanks for your understanding; I am NOT a professional vendor, just a fellow Collector.
About Me:I am returning to eBay after quite a few years, to pass on some wonderful, Collectible items from my personal 35+ year collection of Museum-quality memorabilia. My focus has primarily been on WW2 China-Burma-India (CBI) Theater; the 33rd Fighter Group and its 58th, 59th, 60th, and ‘Joker’ Fighter Squadrons;and Mid-Century USAF Cold War era Aviation. But I have met Veterans from many other War zones over the years too, so I have a great cross-section of Historical mementos to offer.
I have always been interested primarily in the personal story and history of the veteran who passed his or her memorabilia on to me and a lot of what I will be offering on eBay will be in the form of ‘Groupings.’ In many cases I may be able to offer further details to the winning bidder from my own research or in the form of personal correspondence(letters and other information) from the Veterans or their families.I have enjoyed these items and shared them with others at commemorative events, exhibits, displays at Museums and Embassies and veteran-related events for all these years. Thanks for checking it out, and watch for many more items to come!
