12. Nachtjäger Gruppe?
Re: Crafted officers stick to a Nachtjäger
The shield looks like the unit emblem of Nachtjagdgeschwader 1.
Re: Crafted officers stick to a Nachtjäger
IV Gruppe.
12./NJG1
Gruppen Kommandeure Hptm.Hermann Greimer 1-11-44 to 8-5-45.
Formed on 1-10-42, 12./NJG 1 disbanded on 3-3-45. They were at the time of the victory marked on the stock based at Dortmund.
The Messerschmitt Bf110 G-4 Night fighter was their operating aircraft type, below is a representative example from NJG 1 and the Gruppe emblem.
Regards, Ned.

It also marks the shooting down of a british 4-engined bomber on 2.11.44....

Re: Crafted officers stick to a Nachtjäger
Is it still called a 'Wolchow' stick when belonging to a member of the Luftwaffe?

No.3 Group Bomber Command.
Operation. Ramrod 1357.
Thursday 2nd November 1944 :
Homberg Synthetic Oil Plant
Daylight
184 Avro Lancaster’s detailed.
115 Sqdn (16) 514 Sqdn (23) 75NZ Sqdn (20) 622 Sqdn (18) 15 Sqdn (14) 90 Sqdn (17) 218 Sqdn (17) 149 Sqdn (22) 186 Sqdn (18) 195 Sqdn (19)
Cancelled : 0
Abortive : 0
Lost : 2
Missing : 4
15 Sqn HK612 andPB115
186 Sqn LM618
195 Sqn HK663 and LM473
622 Sqn LL803
Weather in target area 5/10th cloud, at the end of the attack black clouds and smoke could be seen coming up from the oil plant. This attack was meant as a G-H formation attack together with a large number of “extra” aircraft with no G-H. These bombed on Wanganua flares dropped by G-H aircraft.
It's possible that one of these aircraft was the victim of the stocks original owner as NJG 1 also operated in daylight and were based only 90 miles away.

Re: Crafted officers stick to a Nachtjäger
Just noticed the ferrule tip. Is that made from a K98 oiler bottle?
