Would Purchase Again
I have just bought a lot from Donley Auctions and was very impressed with everyone I dealt with their. I am located outside the US and I wanted to use my own account with a carrier to get the lot to me. They were very responsive and did exactly what they said they would. Thanks to all at Donley but particularly the shipping department.

Read the disclaimer associated with authenticity.
The Item I received is a replica of a period era war relic, not what I expected.
