    Omega Watch - 1940's Mens - Deco - Rectangle - 14k. - Fancy Lugs

    A great vintage Omega deco watch. Maybe I should include an expensive A-2 jacket or a Borsalino with the listing. Then folks would flock to the post. A super collectible Omega Swiss deco, brand, plus, era and style. Not just another Elgin. Waltham, Bulova, or Whittnuaer.

    For Sale: ATF M1941 Parsons jacket - Size 44 Regular

    I recently purchased this from At The Front. I wore it once or twice and have decided the jacket needs to go to a new home. I have provided pictures of the jacket inside out to show the lining has no holes or stains. Although the jacket has been worn it is virtually as it came out of the box...

    Terms Which Have Disappeared
