*** (REMEMBER you are bidding on the item(s) in the image - even if our identification information that was provided to us and in our description or title is wrong - we are not experts on this. We have titled to the best of our ability or what was with the item. Nice Vintage Item. Feel free to ask any questions or for clarifications - NOTE - though we try, we do NOT meet every day and may not get to your message, request or email right away.) ***
(Remember-Just because one book says that it is a S- something or T- or F- something issue, doesn't mean that there isn't another book - Council, Lodge - or other collectors that says something else. The only issue that we are guaranteeing that you will get is the issue in the photo! So please show your Scout Spirit and Fellowship (and not self-service, remember Scout Law number 3+4) as all are non-collector volunteers here working to help raise funds for a good cause!)
