Yes items are still in the family. The medals are framed on my mother in laws wall. The paperwork on the fakes differs in that notably the medal box is addressed to the father of the deceased at an address that exists but has never been lived in by the recipient or any members of the family. There are other differences in the paperwork too. The accompanying slip on the fakes is from the Secretary of the Admiralty with the name of the recipient typed whereas the original is from the Minister for Transport with the name of the recipient handwritten. Should add that the deceased was a merchant seaman.
Thanks for the replies.
