Jack's Son Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share #8 Posted April 29, 2012 Very nice find JS! Do you plan on doing more research on it?.Matt. Yes Matt. To begin with, I am going to try and find a name match to the number. I know a couple of members who have such records. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobgee Posted April 29, 2012 Share #9 Posted April 29, 2012 Yes Matt. To begin with, I am going to try and find a name match to the number. I know a couple of members who have such records. :thumbsup: Very nice find, JS. Unfortunately this is not an awarded WWI medal. So no record is recorded. My suggestion would be to query the seller for additional information as it may likely be a WWII awarded piece. Congrats and Good Luck!

kfields Posted April 29, 2012 Share #11 Posted April 29, 2012 Great pickup JS! You scored and you weren't really looking! I've picked up some of my best finds when I wasn't looking either. Makes the acquisition so much more rewarding! Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack's Son Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share #13 Posted April 29, 2012 Great pickup JS!You scored and you weren't really looking! Kim I never go to these type of sales, as I don't expect to find anything of interest, obviously yesterday was a FREAK ! I stopped back by the house today to ask questions as Bob suggested, but nobody was home. Sometimes, it's "bling luck"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Nier Posted April 30, 2012 Share #14 Posted April 30, 2012 Unfortunately DSC #8890 does not appear in the rather short list of about 80 DSCs traceable by number. It is interesting that this cross has the distinctive ribbon variety with wider and lighter red edge stripes, compared to the WW1 DSC ribbon. Also, the white stripes are narrower, and the center has a lighter blue shade. I have DSC #11429 with the same ribbon variety , but it is fitted with a slot brooch.

Jack's Son Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share #18 Posted April 30, 2012 Thanks Tom for your input! I had hoped you would stop by. It was a very surprising find, from a nice woman who was afraid she was asking too much for it!' I assure you, she wasn't!!! I gave her a bit more then she asked, but I walked away VERY HAPPY!

Jack's Son Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share #22 Posted May 23, 2012 can you tell me are all ww2 DSC's numbered.Thanks No, they weren't. The numbered ones were holdovers from WWI. The contracts that were issued during WWII called for split brooch and no numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
