    This one tells a story!

    Great work by Kohima

    Interesting markings. Looks like the tunic was repurposed/re-designated (what ever the term is) from a bomber group to the HG regiment.

    A nice early tunic too when the unit was still a regiment
    "Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

    My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

    The absence of NCO tresse to the collar edge suggests that this tunic was worn by an Oberfähnrich (in which case, the collar would be edged in silver twist cord - I cannot make out if the cord is silver or white in the photo).
    It is certainly not unusual to see tunic markings struck out and passed to a different unit, primarily due to the disbanding of units and, later in the war, transfer of the individual. The strike is usually, though not always, accompanied by a year stamp of the transfer.

    And an Other Ranks cuff title for an Oberfähnrich isn't quite right, an NCO's example should be on the tunic...
