This auction is for a nice copy of the book Bleisoldaten, by Hans H. Roer. This hard cover book was published in 1981. 190 pages. All of the text is in German. Not sure what the arrangement is, but it is not by maker. I translated a few of the chapters, and not sure what they mean. One is "The plumbing and drilling" which when you look at it is about the manufacturing and the molds. Another translates as "German Manufacturers" and another something about the game of princes. Lots of black and white and color photos. Full round soldiers, flats, semi-rounds. Not just soldiers, but also Western figures, civilians, ships, an armored train, and more. A few pictures of English figures are interspersed, but the majority are on German makers.  The author of this book later published Old German Toy Soldiers. The later book was organized by maker and had German and English text.   Please note - I don't ship my books in padded envelopes - I use good boxes, wrapping, and a plastic bag in case it arrives on a rainy day. I've seen too many formerly nice condition books arrive in a padded envelope with busted cover edges. Please see my other auctions and my eBay store for vintage German and other metal animal figures, figural desk items by Heyde and other makers, vintage toy soldiers, tin and windup toys, Marklin cannon, and vintage and out of print books on old toys. 

Taxes: eBay now automatically adds sales tax to your cost for items going to states that require it. 

Payment: I accept all the payment methods that eBay offers. Payment is due within four days from the end of the auction.  If your payment is not received within this time period the eBay automated sales tool takes over and starts hounding you. 

Shipping:  My auctions end on Saturday. If you pay by 5:00 E.S.T. on Sunday I'll have them in the mail on Monday. Payments made later in the week or purchases made from my store are shipped as soon as I can get to the Post Office, but that can take several days  and may not happen until the next Monday. I combine shipping on all purchases made and paid for at the same time (unless you're combining a book and toys as books use inexpensive media mail in the U.S. while toys can't).  I use First Class (up to 16 oz) and Priority mail. Books ship media mail. I only charge actual postage - no added fees. I use lots of bubble wrap, peanuts, and good boxes. In a group of multiple pieces each item is wrapped individually. Original boxes or other original paper item go into a plastic bag in case you get delivery on a rainy day.

International Shipping: Sorry no international shipping on this one. It weighs around 5 pounds and the postage would be high. If it gets lost in the mail I'm responsible for refunding the postage, and that's too big a risk.

Return Policy: Returns are accepted. I use a loupe to examine the toys while I'm listing them and I try and mention the significant condition issues I see. I value my eBay reputation and I'm not knowingly going to put out false or misleading info on a toy. I leave feedback so please do the same. If there is any problem with the item contact me first before leaving feedback, and we’ll work it out.
