WWII Bronze Star Medal with Label Pin & Coffin Case. Look carefully at the photos. The photos supersede any inaccuracies in the description. I have collected a plethora of stuff for 30 plus years and now have too much stuff. We are now focusing on downsizing some of our collections. Ask and verify, don’t assume – you know what that makes both of us. We like older, vintage items, and we know condition is a key factor. The photos will show you the condition – and if you’re still not sure, ask. Photos show condition and are to be considered above any written information. If it is there in the photo, then it is there on the item. Terms such as “fair condition, great condition, excellent, etc” are all very SUBJECTIVE to each individual and collector. Photos are factual – as you will receive exactly the item in the photos. We all make mistakes, especially when creating a lot of listings, or we might not use the same terminology as you do for an item. Check the photos out on your mega wide screen t. I may just have it and can create a listing for the item. This saves time and hassle. Bundle buyers are much appreciated!
