Default Made up Chindit group

I have my doubts about this group particularly as the oval Chindit badge has had a backing applied. Note the photograph of the soldiers.

Now look at this group that was sold last week for £181 which has the same photograph and a Chindit badge with a similar backing.

It is either the new owner selling the original group for much less than they paid for it or another group made from the same basic ingredients. Very strange.

Definately part of the group that sold last week. Both buyer and seller have left each other feedback on it.

The current seller has removed the medals and added the grubby CHINDIT title.

No doubt the medals will appear with some other 'tasty' items added also.

regards

The dog tags are not the same, they are 2 differing pairs from what I can see with one with the 5 on the hole and a space on the other and not straight.
