Surplus US military nylon post-war parachute and similar items

Welcome to my listings on Bonanza! I’m yet another refugee from the other site, you know, the one I can’t mention by name because I’m too afraid of getting a “cease and desist” letter from their legal department. Yes, THAT website. I do NOT make obscene profit on shipping handling. If I overcharge it is only for the sake of convenience in listing; you only pay the actual shipping and any balance is refunded to you. That said, I’ve been selling a long time and I pride myself on being the most honest seller on the web. I bend over backwards to provide excellent photos, short but concise descriptions and measurements when there is no manufacturer’s size/spec tag. Having said that, I do not provide additional measurements or photos because in my many years of selling I learned that people almost never purchase the item! Sorry, but I have to do what is in my best interest and that means saving time, MY time. If there is a maker’s flaw, rip, tear, stain, bald spot or otherwise damage worth showing, then I’ll show it in the photos and/or mention it in the Item Title or Item Description. Cat fur included at no extra charge. That means that I have two cats in my house and I let them sleep on any damned thing that they want to, including my merchandise as I photograph it for listing. I do not smoke and neither do my cats. ************************************************ What can you do with a parachute missing it's risers? Use it as a dust cover for your car or cars, depending on how big your cars are! Sun shade for back yard! Childrens games at church, summer camp, etc. Cut it up and make parachute pants all while singing: "Can't Touch This". Sorry, I did not measure the parachute and nor will I . It's big, trust me. Comes with a really nice, zippered carrying bag which measures 36" X 18" X 12". Parachute weighs 17 pounds, so shipping will be necessarily expensive. Blame Joe and the gang for that....
