WWII OCCUPATION SERVICE MEDAL RIBBON BAR WITH BERLIN AIRLIFT DEVICE

Description

You are bidding on a WWII ARMY OCCUPATION SERVICE MEDAL RIBBON BAR WITH BERLIN AIRLIFT DEVICE,
in new, unissued condition
.
Airplane device included but not mounted.  Single and multiple ribbon mounts available in my store
--be sure to purchase a ribbon mount if you need one;
you cannot wear this ribbon without one
The Berlin Airlift Device is awarded for service of 92 consecutive days with a unit credited with participation in the Berlin airlift, or by competent field authority on an individual basis within the period June 26, 1948 to September 30, 1949 inclusive.
The device is a gold colored metal miniature of a Douglas C-54
cargo airplane. It is worn centered on the suspension and service ribbon
of the Army or Navy Occupation Service Medal
.
I can assemble an entire ribbon rack, or get virtually any currently issued US military insignia or award and many historical items, but space is limited in my store.  Please feel free to contact me with your needs.
Will gladly combine shipping for multiple lots if you put items in your cart and request total.  Thanks a million for looking and check out my
other items

*I apologize for the ridiculous shipping, but I have no choice but to ship First Class Package, as when I attempted to ship first class non-machinable, the USPS frequently saw fit to run the envelope through the sorting machine anyway, destroying it, and of course I would be blamed.  Done with that.  Also to offset the PayPal fee, which amounts to nearly 30% of the price of the item!
You can, however, fit MANY items (the ribbon mount, other ribbons, insignia) in a First Class Package, so if you need anything else, it's like free shipping.
**The good old USPS seems to lose about three of my shipments every year.  Astonishingly, I have had several ex-buyers take this risk and then expect me to act as though they had paid for an insured shipping method.  My life doesn't work like that.  If I want a service, I have to request it and PAY FOR IT.  So if you don't want to be one of the unlucky three, please select the Priority Mail (insured) choice, otherwise you may request the less expensive First Class, and take the risk that the USPS may lose it.
