The details on the rim have been damaged but are still readable The number appears to be 64211 with P for private

I have found a medal index card for 64211 Private Joseph T Nicholson KOYLI

 

Would you agree that this is the soldier?

A rare example of when a shoddy job (only half erasing a medal) is a good thing. Great detective work lads.

if for any reason anyone is seeking a pair which have had the recipients details erased I know where such a set is for sale , coincidentally also in a shop in north Wales.

Very disappointed , bid on a trio died in hospital.  Got them home and found star had been semi erased. Has spr. And R.E. With a feint l which does not tie in with his name. I've argued with auction. House but 'their militaria specialist' says it's just been polished well. 

Scratches and hollow don't lie. Came with a ribbon bar and new ribbons on medals and his cap badge....

i suspect a made up group.    Still it was only £100 with commission and vat.

they say a picture on listing. So, caveat emptor.
