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

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.

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.

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!
