Commando Grouping.

Medal/paperwork and fighting knife grouping to 5055894 L/Cpl.George.E.Pym N.Staffs and probably 6 Troop, 5 Commando. Grouping consists of medals 39-45, Burma Star, Defence and War medal with original box ( Birmingham address ) and slip, various photos showing groups probably in Burma and a large panorama shot showing men at Commando Basic Training Centre ( Achnacarry ) in 1944. Accompanied by Commando Service Certificate showing service between Jan 43 and Oct.45, SEAC souvenir newspaper and Asia Command Christmas greeting. Grouping also comes with a particularly good example of a 2nd Patt FS fighting knife marked ' B2 and arrow ' to cross guard. Knife looks to be little used with no sign of sharpening, contact rubbing to top of handle and very light speckling to blade from storage in scabbard. Scabbard in good, clean condition, with both tabs and elastic retainer which retains some degree of elasticity.
Pym's service with 5 Commando is not confirmed but is suggested by the other items in the grouping and the note to photos indicating 6 Troop and Burma 1944. Would reward further research, scarce untouched Commando grouping
