    Description

    ORIGINAL US ARMY DOWN FEATHER SLEEPING BAG
    DUE TO THE CURRENT SITUATION YOU MAY EXPERIENCE DELAYS IN RECEIVING MAIL BUT MOST MAIL IS BACK TO NORMAL.
    This is an original US Army down sleeping bag.  I suspect this has seen lots of post service use from how well this has been taken care of.  There are small repairs here and there and a couple patches.  I took photos of all the patches/repairs I could find.  Unfortunately the QM tag has been removed so I cannot accurately date this.  You can still see the faint "US" marking.  Has a good working TALON zipper, the pull has a piece of cloth like cord attached to it so the original pull is missing.  I also suspect that ties to roll the bag up have been removed but I can't see where that may have been done.  The name stenciled on it, "A.I. YOUNG" was a person who was in the service but I do not know what branch of service he was in.  I did however find this in an outbuilding on the property that once belonged to the Young family in Colorado.  They have all passed now so there is no one left I can ask about it.
    If I were to guess I would say this is either from the 1940's or 1950's, but that is only a guess.
    Good used condition.  The down is not compacted and the bag still has great loft to it.
    INTERNATIONAL BUYERS.  I HAVE BEEN HAVING A LOT OF PROBLEMS LATELY WITH BAD ADDRESSES.  PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR EBAY ADDRESS IS CURRENT AND ACCURATE.  IF I HAVE PROBLEMS, WILL REFUND YOU AND RELIST.  SOME ADDRESSES ARE ALSO TO LONG FOR OUR ONLINE POSTAL LABELS.  PLEASE PROVIDE A WORKING ADDRESS.
    I will also combine auctions BUT once paid will ship (sorry cannot hold paid items, eBay will revoke my seller status).  However, certain items CANNOT be shipped outside the United States such as military radio equipment.  I will not bend, tweek or break any laws restricting the shipping of certain item

    ABOUT HANDLING CHARGES
    :
    I still hate handling charges and view them as a loop hole for
    some
    unreputable sellers to increase their profits. I won't use handling charges unless a buyer requests special services.
    REFUND/RETURNS
    .
    You
    DO
    have a
    THIRTY DAY RIGHT OF INSPECTION
    and return it for a full refund. I try to pack things as best I can, and if I feel I was amiss on that I will gladly work with somebody. Sometimes I forget people value boxes and packaging and I can feel their pain so if I feel I didn't package something good enough I am more than happy to work with someone. Most of the time I am very careful although I do try to use whatever boxes I can find instead of buying them to keep from charging a handling fee.
    PAYMENT MUST BE RECEIVED WITHIN 7 DAYS. Or eBay will automatically file an unpaid claim.
