is it a fake?

Hi Christian - there's really no such things as "fakes" when it comes to British miniature medals. The reason why I say this is that these were private purchase items that were produced by many tailors and jewelers...so, you needn't worry about them being fakes. Some groups that are put together with miniatures can be termed fake - as they are made up of various combinations of orders, gallantry decorations, and campaign medals to deceive the buyer into thinking that they belonged to someone who had earned these same medals. However, your group is a nice Naval long service group - nothing too spectacular - but nice nonetheless.

Maybe nothing too spectacular, but I'd be happy as Larry if it was a full-sized group. It's certainly one of the more plausible 'groups' I've seen of late.
