This Buy it Now auction is for some Vietnam War to 1970s era items. The "DSA" Defense Supply Agency stock numbers changed to "DLA" Defense Logistics Agency stock numbers in the year 1978. There is a main backpack part of an Alice Pack backpack, that has printed Quartermaster information with a "-77-C" 1977 contract date. The Alice Pack backpack part is missing the metal frame, missing the shoulder straps, and is missing the waste support strap. I do not have the now missing parts. The interior rubberized material in the backpack is cracked and flaking. The Alice Pack main backpack part has been mounted onto some M-1956 Suspenders. The Suspenders have a "9/18/59" Setember 18th 1959 date. There is a 1960s era Pistol Belt that has faded markings. There is a M-1956 Ammo Pouch that has faded markings. There is a M-1972 Ammo Pouch that has stock number information with a "-76-" 1976 date. There is a M-1910 Canteen that is dated 1945, and has a WW2 era M-1910 Canteen Cover with faded markings. There is no cup for the canteen. There is a M-1943 Folding Shovel that is dated 1945, and has a WW2 era M-1943 Folding Shovel Cover that has faded markings. There is a N.A.T.O. Forces Gas Mask that is missing the filter, and is in a Vietnam War era Gas Mask Bag. I do not have the missing filter for the mask. The N.A.T.O. Forces Gas Mask part has a "69" 1969 date marking. There are some U.S. Military containers for Shoe Polish, Heater Fuel, and Snake Bite Kits. These items are old and in Used Condition with wear damage from use. These items have sun fading, dirt stains, rust stains, scratches, dents, paint loss, oxidation to the metal parts, rip hole damage, missing parts, etc. There are soldier name and number markings. These items are no longer in the perfect condition that they once were in the day they were originally first manufactured. These items are both damaged from having been used, and damaged from being old. Time slowly destroys old things. These are old relic items. These
items are way too much stuff to be mailed in a Large size USPS Priority
Mail Flat Rate Box. These items will have to be mailed in a package
bigger , and more expensive than that.
Condition: For
Legal reasons, the items in this listing are stated as "Used
Condition". What is a "Used Condition" item? It is an item that is in
"Poor Terrible Condition". They are better condition than "Dug Relic
Condition" items. Items are no longer like how they were the day they
were first manufactured. Items have been used by someone Decades ago in
another Century. Items will have defects and damage from having been
used. The older something is, the worse the condition will be. Wool
items will have Moth holes. Expect Moth damage to old wool items.
Expect clothing to have dirt stains, frayed cuffs and collars. Expect there to be Mildew and Mold damage stains.
Expect
wrinkles. Expect buttons to be broken or missing. Expect zippers to
be broken and non functional. Expect size tags to be missing or
damaged. Expect leather items to be dried out and cracked. Hats will
be crushed and bent out of shape. Do not expect clothing to fit you, it
is not your size. Expect oxidation and rust on the metal parts.
Expect items to be faded from having been exposed to sun light. Expect
metal items to have dents, scratches, and paint loss. Expect items to
have microscopic fractures when looked at under a microscope. Expect
Electronic items to no longer work or be functional. These items are
old and things
slowly get destroyed by time. Please do not expect something in "New
Condition", or "Good Condition". These items are in "Used Condition",
and are Relics from another Century. The vintage
items I list for sale are not wearable clothing, or usable
items. They are sold as old collectibles only. If you are expecting
something that is old and used to still be in nice shape, do not buy
this item. I am trying to be 100% Honest, and Accurately Describe the
Crappy Condition of the Old Relics I have for sale. If you want
something that is in nice shape, than go to a store and buy something
that is new. These items are old and damaged from use.
