Nice looking jacket Ed.
Just curious why you believe the bullet is German? Have you measured it? It appears to be some type of special purpose bullet such as a tracer or incendiary. I'm not willing to start pulling the ammo in my collection apart to inspect the bullets so I'll have to find another way to figure out what you've got there. Someone probably has a reference for German 7.92 ammo but I don't.

Personally, I'm at least as interested in the mutiny story as in the tunic. Do you think they were just browned off at not being sent home after the Japanese surrender, or was there more to it than that? Usually bad officering, combined with such general discontent, was needed before an elite unit such as Paras would consider mutiny. Probably a good story there!
