I have to admit when I found this, first I fell off my chair laughing, then I was in disbelief that a reputable auction house had the front to offer this as a walt grouping

That lot has more than it's fair share of copies too, Ebay sell them for a couple of quid each....

I find this interesting. I see no problem with the Auction house selling this off. They have described it accurately, they are not out deceive any potential buyer. The buyer can clearly read what he or she is bidding on (unlike some sales on eBay)

I collect medals to the C.E.F. primarily. I have a couple of enhanced ones. First a pair to the 184th Bn mounted and quite worn (entitled to the BWM only) I also have a trio to the 41st, entitled to a single BWM only. I do like them, sort of shows a different time and mindset.

A properly mounted all services at all times walts grouping lol,I can understand wanting to collect one of each but having them court mounted .

What's pisses me off more is when you read the description of the 'Original set' but then .........

TBH @Fred Karno's Army, If that had been all original, I'd be bidding on it just to get the Aircrew medal...:)

Hi @Fred Karno's Army,

The ribbons are probably all modern copies too.
