Is there a way to reverse this . . . can you find out what number PH would have been awarded to a certain name?

No, the person who owns this charges for the data. If you asked him to “look up a name” he might, but he is not going to publish a list.

No...not without having either the person's file (if it's listed) or having the list of names associated with these numbers, which would then alleviate the need for swag's service. 🤣

I understand that, but wondered if it is possible to find the number when you only know the name. He was only advertising that he can find the name if you have the number.

I have the IDPF, but no number listed. That's why I wondered! :)

You could send him a message and ask? I'm not sure how he has the data sliced up ( Searchable by name ).

PM me his name, I'll do a reverse look up and see if he (or she) is in my database.

Hi Kevin,

I am another person who is having trouble with the pdf link.  I have several PHs that I have been able to research years ago.  However, I have one with number (63XXX) and named that I am trying to see if it is on your pdf list.

Your number is from a 1930s contract and will not be on Kevins list.  All 1930s Purple Hearts were issued engraved as well.

Hi, what an excellent thread I have 2 numbered Purple hearts 84612 (nearest on the list is 84609) and 216795, is there any way of finding out roughly when these would have been awarded? I noticed earlier in the thread that a citation for PH numbered 75153 is 8 Nov 1942, does this mean 84612 could have been awarded not long afterwards?

Cheers,

Rick

If anyone finds info on 84654 please let me know. My PH is not named so it would be awesome to know who it may have been awarded too. The closest I could find was 84656 on the list. Thanks!
