Some more context, please. Besides the decorations, he adds numbers to campaign and service medals? Fake boxes and accessories? He actually manufactures these things or does he modify real examples? Please expand on what it is he does or has done. Thanks

In the past he is known to have used mismatched parts to create medals. If you look up the usernames 377gks and bigp63 which he has used in the past, he has quite a long history. A lot of what he does is artificially ages modern planchets, reproductions and uses period brooches, ribbons to make them look authentic. There has been discussion in the past about him adding numbers to campaign, service and valor awards.

He's also known for helmets.
