I'm far far from any kind of an expert on any militaria, much less Rhodesian stuff but even I know that they look much much too modern and clean to be period. Also, photos in the bags and the flash are convenient enough I'd say.

Ah! I did just read the description and it does say selling as repro. If someone is willing to spend £85 on repro stuff, then their choice.

Obviously! Doesn't anyone buy something because they want to. Not the reason I posted it.

It would have been better if he had placed the word "commemorative" before Selous Scout badges and he might also have made a mention of 5 Recce too.

Alright, steady on! Not what I was suggesting you meant at all, I think it's as bonkers as you that someone is willing to part with £85 for this.

It appears that nobody was willing to part with £85.
