TRUE Vintage, not a REPRO like you see throughout eBay , made way before they put Union labels on clothing. This one is so soft it feels like lamb or goat skin. This is not a re;production. No flaws. Look at the detail on the front medallion, I would place this late 1930's to mid 1940's but do your own due diligence as to its age. the size is 21 7/8ths inches which makes it a size 7 MEDIUM. Please ask all questions and look at all photos prior to purchase. This one is a jewel. ThanksI've shipped a LOT of packages .........but sometimes the post office or other shippers go above and beyond my wildest expectations and manage to damage a package in spite of my careful packing. Please know that with the exception of international first class (see below) all of my packages are insured. Please do not report a damaged item as "not as described" to eBay. That is for when someone it doing the old bait and switch or missed a flaw and you feel they are trying to rip you off. This process requires you to return the item to the buyer.

So just let me know if your item suffered any mistreatment along its journey and I will be sure to make it right for you. Must ship to a confirmed PayPal address.
