Thanks Dave, surely the act of making up fake documents to accompany war medals in order to pass them off as something they are not is fraudulent regardless of who the injured party is. If I get no success through the auction house I will go to trading standards. The auction house will have records as to who put the items into the auction. I know that the lot was originally put into the auction house initially in May last year in a different format in that there was an extra medal in the set. That lot was withdrawn for whatever reason. When it was put back into the auction in the November it was a three medal lot. Very strange!
