Come on guys, there is no way to confirm anything on this get up from just this photo. Chance of it being genuine is virtually nil.

I too highly doubt that it is legit, the brass pocket buttons, the 8th Army insignia, the positioning of the wings, I believe are warning signs of a very bad buy. |

In a nutshell though- for $6K one needs provenance full stop IMO |

I just find the military BEM/OBE ribbon a bit unusual on a WW2 2nd Lieutenant but then, that's just me.

Can any of you LRDG experts confirm if a Rhodesian Lieutenant made an "operational" parachute drop in LRDG history?

The brass buttons look like they have a Light Infantry horn on them?
I'm no expert but the whole thing looks put together, none of it has aged the same, $6000, fool indeed! Chris |

Jonathan Pittaway said that no Rhodesian Officer got a MBE/OBE in North Africa.
