US Korean War to Vietnam War Airborne Paratrooper Jump Boots size 11 1/2 R USED

Description

This Buy it Now auction is for a pair of United States Army issue boots.  These are leather Airborne Paratrooper Jump Boots.  They are size 11 1/2 R.  They have size information on the outside top of the boots.  I have seen many 1960s and latter boots with this information on the outside tops.  However, there is no date information next to the outside size information.  There is some printed Quartermaster information on the inside of the boots.  The information is faded, and hard to read.  I can't clearly read the date.  The bottoms of the boots have older WW2 to Korean War looking souls and heels.  These might be an Early 1960s pair of boots, but they look more like WW2 to Korean War Boots.  I really think that these boots are 1950s to 1960s in vintage.  These boots are over 50 to 60 years old and are in Used Condition, with wear damage from use.  Some of the old leather is cracked.  The souls of the boots are warn down some from use, but not much.  The souls and heels look like older WW2 to Korean War era parts.  There are some scuff scratches  on the surface of the leather.  There is paint loss and oxidation to the metal parts.  There are faded markings on the insides of the boots.  They can be mailed in a Medium size USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate Box.

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.
Shipping:
Shipping will be done via the US Postal Service. Priority Mail will be the means of shipping and Delivery Confirmation will be used. Overseas buyers will have a United States Customs Declaration Form Tracking Number.  The item was rough weighed in an open box.  I then put the rough shipping weight into the eBay Calculated Shipping.  eBay calculated the shipping cost, not me.  I won't know the shipping weight until the item is taken to my local post office when it needs to be mailed.   I am not an employee of the USPS and the weight is just a rough measurement for listing purposes.  I am not doing this as a business, I am just some guy trying to sell off my private collection of Militaria in order to try and pay some bills. I am using eBay as a garage sale. If I can use a USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate box to send the item in, I'll mail it in one of those
