billrob68 Posted January 9, 2020 Share #1 Posted January 9, 2020 Hi, I was hoping one of the forum members might be able to date this Navy Cross. Not sure but I was told Korean War era. Any help greatly appreciated. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan H. Posted January 9, 2020 Share #4 Posted January 9, 2020 What you have here is a Vietnam era or later Navy Cross in a WWII era box. The case is worth far more than this medal. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billrob68 Posted January 9, 2020 Author Share #5 Posted January 9, 2020 Thanks Allan, unfortunately the case is not a NC one. It looks to be a Air Medal example, where the lettering is scratched out and Navy Cross written in gold pen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan H. Posted January 9, 2020 Share #6 Posted January 9, 2020 Unfortunately (of fortunately since the case was screwed up) the case is actually an army case. It isn't worth much of anything with the damage. The ribbon bar and the mini medal are very recent manufacture as well. I would tell you to not bother with this one!

MMcollector Posted January 9, 2020 Share #7 Posted January 9, 2020 The full size medal itself is a early 1960s H.L.P. Navy Cross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
