Absolutely Peter,
A little research should clear up if he “embellished” or if there was simply some confusion with the widow who pawned it.
I have also managed to have a discussion with the ebay seller and he has agreed to get in contact with the widow for some clarification.
It would be pretty convincing if Mr. Moneypenny had prior service with both the 1st Can Para and the Victoria Rifles which happen to be the two items married up together in this group.
Time will tell.
Thank you for our comments.
