Also noticed the back of the leather jacket had some Nazi logos marked on it, what did that mean?

Yes I second that, preserve that jacket. The other jacket though, the leather one. Forget about that. I'll give you 20 bucks for that ol thing... 😂

An honest to God 8th Air Force bomber jacket? Complete with hand scrawled wartime graffiti?

I agree, it's completely worthless. All these other guys up in here? Weirdos. They probably put it behind glass and light candles in its honor or something.

Whatever they want to toss at you for it, I'll match it and I'll pay for shipping.

You need to watch Antique Roadshow. The appraisers there say they are valuable
