    Roy,
    Yes correct in that assumption too, and that just shows how wide the subject matter is.

    With technology now so easily available at a key stroke, many "official" organisations lay down their information already for all of us to readily access. I know only to well from a Military Police and Civilian Police stand point, that the records they have access and pinpoints issued items direct from Regimental records today, so it is easy, even in the case of QSJM and the like to see who has been officially issued with them. As Peter states the more rare the item, the easier it is to search and find, whether its a medal or documentary bull **** produced!!

    So then why do they do it, when they know results can be delivered to counter their claims in seconds?

    Peter,
    that made me smile Army Catering Corps Sniper. Yes I tried to keep it wider than medals in my resposes, becuase some of the best frauds are conducted with doctored certificates.
    Those organisations such as Ebay and the like should be complicit in any prosecutions aimed at individuals, because they should realise they are lethal.
    I am suprised that those Officers whose names appear at the base of many of these blank certificates on that site, don't take out a private prosecution for defamation of character
