Fake engraved Purple Heart?

[rory]

I just thought the lettering on the surname looked a bit wonkey. Just another question if a lot of purple hearts were privately engraved is there any real way of telling if the award belonged to the person and not done recently by someone out to make money?

thanks

I listen it was not permitted to sell a Purple Heart? Not true?
