Early on in the war the Germans did play by the Geneva convention. At least when taking prisoners. Was your grandfather a officer in the French military? Generally officers where allowed to keep there possessions.
Yes he was. It’s my opinion too on the subject.
I have found a passionate in France who is going to take care of it. Quite impatient to see it works again and to wear it proundly during a Sunday lunch in front of my mother.
The bad thing is that with the discovery of that forum I have caught the virus of vintage watch... My first quest will be a Constellation for my father’s birthday. Thank you gents for your warm welcome and your good advices.
