High shipping.

LOL. $95.00 from Germany to Germany. Not sure if this is in line with Ebay policies.

Nice jacket. I seriously doubt it's 40s though, mid to late 50s more like it?

 

[Rudie]

Oh, my bad. It's just Ebay. He says in the auction text that shipping to Germany is MUCH less.

Yeah, I'd have been tempted to bid, but that shipping looks like a right gouge! nice jacket, though I'd have thought later than Forties myself. [huh]

Nice. Looks later than the claimed date. It would be interesting to see the marks on the back of that Gutos quick release buckle. It's quite a nice dating tool (for the buckle parts, at least). Pre- and during-war would be marked DRP (Deutscher Reichspatent) or BcWRn (?). In the immediate postwar, pre-split era, they were marked DBP (Deutscher Bundespatent) Deutschland. From '49 on they tended to be marked DBP, Made in West Germany.

Buckle bore exits, stage left.
