I agree with the other comments; it looks suspicious to me, especially since it's to a Parachute Regiment officer. The name should be easy enough to research.
Court mounted medals that dirty make me wonder. I would LIKE to believe the group is authentic, but...........
The elite units seem to always be those with the most faked items.

What I found
Unit : No.6 Platoon, "B" Company, 11th Parachute Battalion
Army No. : 105015
Awards : Military Cross
During the operations at Arnhem, Lieutenant Blackwood, by his courage, leadership and devotion to duty, held together the men in his sector against the most enormous odds. Time and again with a handful of men he beat off attacks. He never troubled about his own safety. He was never to be found in a trench at a time when the fire was heavy. He was always going round his positions steadying and cheering his men. For five days and nights without rest he held his sector, and whether he was beating off attacks by day or leading patrols by night, he always showed himself to be a leader of the highest order.
I know to little about medals to give a opinion.
