The "English Made" patch is machine sewn, and is an odd mix of wartime austerity scrappiness and modern full-colour. Something about the patch just doesn't seem "right" to me.
The photographs are certainly a nice collection, but whether they are originals or copies I can't tell. Some of them are known ones without the AC-index numbers.
Without being able to examine all the items it's not worth the risk.
It could be a genuine set of letters and photos, with the patch added for embellishment....... for $70 I'd take a punt, for $700 no way.
