The battle damage looks like rodent damage.
Bullet holes courtesy of Herman the German are always far sexier than rodent damage courtesy of Roland the rat
(from bitter experience I'm familiar with rat damage to items of uniform).

At the end of threads like this I aways think what nice genuine items I could have added to my collection for the price paid for a load of c--p like this.

Another travesty ...
Dieppe Raid in deed - the Cdo Group patch wasn't introduced until a couple of years after the Dieppe raid!
Surely making such claims is extremely careless
