I recently acquired the rolls for the numbered NY State Conspicuous Service Cross. If you have one and would like to ID it to a recipient. PM me with the number and I'll do what I can.

Garth,

Thank you for sharing your research source with us! How far back do our records start?

 

R,

 

The records go from 1920 (WW1 recipients) to 1984. Numbers 1 through 24013 with some odd numbered later awards.

The only drawback is that you can't search by name - I guess that feature was not considered important

I believe if you contact Steve Watts (OMSA), he is selling a bunch of books on these New York medals and volume 2 has the recipient information.

Tim,

 

I have volume II and these is not a "look up cross by name" index - volume II is set up like volume I - If you have a medal number - you can find the name but not vice versa.

Just shot you a note, I grabbed a couple cased crosses last week and was just wringing my hands with Allan about getting rolls or researching these and tonight I see your post....perfect.

Sean,

Not necessarily. It is probably not a WW1 guy but could easily be a WW2 vet that just applied later in his life.

Hi Bill

 

I have one numbered 1536 - wonder if you would be so kind to have a look for that one (might be a little later than 1983 though, but I live in hope!)

 

Thanks so much

Shawn - I can only look up WWI & WWII Crosses

 

If it is chrome plated than it is a later cross

 

Let me know

Hi Bill

 

Thanks for the message, yes, definitely a later (chrome plated) cross.

 

Thanks for replying though

 

Kindest

Hi Bill,

 

Thank you for your reply (above) and most helpful information in this string of 9 December. Initially, I had a little trouble navigating the site but eventually found it. The research into the individuals Service has begun.

 

At the risk of taking the bucket to the well too often, I actually have a third NY CSC in my care - Number 2594. If I could impose on you once more, I would be most obliged for an identification. Thank you.

 

with kindest regards and best wishes,

 

Tim

Unfortunately, the WW1 Service medal 32004 isn't listed in the rolls. :(

Thanks I see that the spell check said “ Kandahar” which I don’t know where that came from. The 2605 serial# medal is the medal with the soldier at present arms with the multi color red, black, yellow ribbon. I was hoping to trace it since it’s a low number. I just wanted to clarify
