Not a place I would look to buy medals from - but I thought some of the forum might be interested in these and wish to take a punt. I have seen this dealer/Collector post a lot of unusual medals on Ebay recently !! I believe the legal expression is Caveat Emptor!!

That is indeed the expression . "Let the buyer beware"

Has anyone checked the medal rolls to see if these are indeed listed . Does seem odd there are no photos though.
