Is there anything wrong with this Para Badge ?

[Krakow1]

Seller says this set belonged to Col Stanislaw Sedziak. The first red flag I see is that Col Sedziak jumped in to Poland in 1942 as a Porucznik /Lieutenant.
He got promoted after the jump to Kapitan. /Captain.
He would have not worn that uniform in Poland, it looks to clean, Col Sedziak served in the field for most of his time.
He never went back to UK during the War, so the Rank on the Uniform should have been Lieutenant, not Captain.
Col Sedziak was sentenced to death by communists in 1947 to be pardoned and he finally got out of Prison in 1957.

2 nd red flag : The shape of the Para Badge. With the low number this should be of the Grupa Techniczna shape, not Kirkwood.
High price on this set.... 8 thousand pounds.....

Por Wladyslaw Gretkierewicz Virtuti is numbered 11097. So it should be unnumbered Cross : more than likely a Spink manufacture.
Definitely not a Spink in the picture.
