Disclaimer:   I do not support or condone any Non-Democratic political groups or Governments. No man should receive less or more rights because of his color, views, origins etc.  I am  here selling historic military artifacts, and not attempting to offend anyone. If you are offended by historic symbols of fallen Totalitarian States, please do not view this site. I do not like or support  drug use, gangster rap, terrorist whackos, crime in out cities, poor parenting etc.,  so I do not frequent sites related to those topics.  Finally, if you are offended by WWII Germanic Symbols, you should also be offended by symbols related to Communism, in places such as China, North Korea, Cuba and Viet Nam. Those countries still actively oppress people, and are much more dangerous than my WWII German belt buckles! Finally, if you really want to be offended and shocked; go fill up your gas tank!  

Suggestion:   Relax, take a deep breath, and have a latte. Better yet, buy somebody else a latte.  Smile be happy, and be nice to other people. This stuff is supposed to be fun!

I buy militaria!!! I love militaria!!! I am interested in your single item or entire collection. Give me a try; I do my best to pay you your price. I am a collector too, see the Wanted and Gallery sections. I also accept consignments, contact me for details. The more interesting your item, the less of a fee I charge.

Guarantee: Every item I sell comes with the guarantee that it is 100% original and authentic unless otherwise described. I do not guarantee size or that an item will fit you. I am a relic merchant, not a dressmaker. All items come with a LIFETIME GUARANTEE less shipping. Items altered in any way by you, the buyer, may not be returned for any reason. Please contact me before returning an item so, I can prepare for its return.

Availability: Items are sold on a first come, first served basis. I update the site regularly to reflect current inventory status. Generally, if there is a dollar amount after the item listing, the item is available. If the price column reads RESERVED the item is on hold and awaiting payment. Sometimes an item is on lay-away,  and the item may be reserved for several months.  SOLD means the item is no longer available. Please contact summervacationmilitaria to check on availability before sending payment. Again Available means that the item was reserved and some nudnik never sent me the payment, so after waiting patiently too long; I have relisted it. Unfortunately, this happens too often!

Pricing:  I try very hard to keep my prices reasonable, or in many cases, cheap!  Some of the other sites charge so much that the militaria never sells. Compare my prices to the other sites on the web. If you ask me to take less on an item that I just posted, the answer will probably be no. If you see an item that has been there a longer time; I may take less. It still never hurts to try.  If in doubt; try.

A Special Note About Ordnance: Due to current world terror concerns and the problems they cause with international shipping, I will no longer ship inert ordnance items outside the United States. Sorry for any inconvenience, this may cause.

Ordering: Select the items that you want to purchase by the item number. Then call +1 (586) 549-3150 or email me at svm1944@comcast.net to check on availability and reserve your items. I will let you know the total due. Payment must be received within 10 days.

Business Hours: The site is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. There is no dress code; you do not need a shirt and shoes for service here. You can e-mail me anytime or call +1 (586) 549-3150 between 8am and 6pm Eastern US time. I can sometimes be reached on Saturday and on Sunday, but time is spent with family, so if it's urgent, please leave a message with your name and phone number and I will call back. Our business is conducted by mail or at shows only. I have no 'Open to the Public' shop.

Payment: I accept  money orders, and personal checks. Our wordl wide customers may pay cash in US Dollars. .  Make checks payable to: KARL KITHIER.

Trades: I LOVE TRADES!!!! Please me know what you have, and I will do my best to make you happy with a trade deal.  It really makes a trade easier to do if you tell me what you want for your item.  You can tell me with a cash value or what item or items you want from me.  If you are unsure, I am always happy to help with a value.

SVM's Easy Payment Plan: I would prefer that you make one easy payment, of the full amount right now, but understand everybody is not made of money. Contact me, and let me know what works for you, and I will do my best to make it work. 

If you would like me to hold an item for you until you can send the money; I require a 10% non refundable deposit  to be paid within 10 days.  Sorry, but I have had too many people reserve items without any follow up.  Blame them, not me. I would love to post a list of their names. If you are guilty of this, because your dog had hemorrhoid surgery, or your Mom was out for work release that weekend, or you and Ernie had to drink up all the beer, before the expiration date,  or some other reason. I will accept your apology.  No problem; please don't do it again. I will really do my best to make the payments as painless as possible.

Shipping Charges: A flat US shipping and handling charge is listed with each item. This amount includes the USPS Priority or First Class Mail postage and insurance. Foreign shipping costs will be calculated at the time of purchase.

 
Postage rates within the continental USA: This is to help you with approximate postage. If you make a purchase, we will tell you the exact amount for shipping.

Small items that will fit into a video box $5 + insurance

Medium items such as field gear, holsters canteens etc. $8+ insurance  

Large items such as helmets $12+insurance

Insurance: It is up to you to tell me that you would like your package insured. I do my best to package your item, and have never lost an item on the way to the post office. What happens once we turn over your item to the nice lady @ the counter..... well, we recommend the insurance.  Actually I have found the US Post Office to be very good, but still recommend insurance. Below is the actual USPS postage chart. For items that exceed the largest amount on the chart, take that amount and add $1.25 per $100 of insurance.   

Let's review, an item insured for $600 would be $6.20 + $1.25=$7.45

Fee ................... Insurance Coverage
$1.30 ................ $0.01 to $50
$2.20 ................ $50.01 to $100
$3.20 ................ $100.01 to $200
$4.20 ................ $200.01 to $300
$5.20 ................ $300.01 to $400
$6.20 ................ $400.01 to $500

Foreign Shipping I ship all foreign orders via US Post Priority which costs a little more, but gives us a TRACKING NUMBER, so they do not loose YOUR package!

Foreign orders cannot be insured unless declared at their full value and only at the request of the buyer. Otherwise, all foreign orders are shipped at the buyer's risk with no refund for lost mail.
