Someone cut off the collar a few years back and that didn't go down well on here if I remember correctly.

Its been common practice for many years for dealers and some collectors to cut up and strip tunics as the price of each modestly priced badge, which people can afford, works out being more than trying to sell one expensive tunic that many cant afford.

Even more pity because the sleeve and badges is unremarkable and the display is frankly hideous.

Shouldn’t it be ‘are’ unremarkable?
Yes indeed. As a pedant I am ashamed!
