The seller is an alias for a well known seller of questionable provenance items to say the least, many have been tampered with.

This group was for sale previously by his other seller id.

At least some of the parts look correct in the group, but the history has been messed with.

Definitely a mistake with the career summary as it says that he was born in 1937 and commissioned 2nd Lieutenant in 1948. These SAS types are good but not that good.

Every other SAS, Commando or Airborne listing he has for sale are fake!

And 17 Gurkha Division with its 1960s pattern sign (the black cat on yellow)was never entitled 17 British Infantry Division.
