    This has been with me for at least 35 years, given to me by a friend who is no longer with us, who was a great person! A Moeris p.w. from the second WW , working really nice! GSTP = General Serve Temp. Pattern . I've seen some on Ebay for as much as 1,000. USD ... and some less, for around 300 . Such a big difference in price. I'm wondering if this could be solid silver? First the arrow is stamped on the back, second G. S. T. P. , then the serial number. It is a wind up , and ticks quite loud considering, but it's very accurate! My son commented yesterday that there's something ticking close by and was wondering where. I showed him the time piece in my pocket. Any new info on this would be appreciated.

      Looks like nickel, not silver, and people can ask whatever they want-- doesn't mean they'll ever get the price. Check e-Bay Sold Listings by clicking Advanced Search in the upper right. Sold is green-priced items. Has to be near identical item/condition to assume the price.
      Nice gift.

      Strange, but that appears to be a Brit. broad arrow mark on the back.

      Yes it's an arrow .... what does that signify??
    4. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 8 years ago
      In your pic, it looks just like the sign meaning made for or belonging to the Limey gov't. . Maybe a gov't. issue.

      It is a military WWII pocket watch issued by Gov't for sure ... I didn't know that was a sign signifying that! Thanks, but it landed here in Montreal!
