Allan H. Posted December 23, 2020 Share #2 Posted December 23, 2020 Your DFC appears to be a US Mint strike from the WWII era, but the pendant and suspension bar look like they have been through a fire. Obviously, the ribbon is a replacement, and appears to be brand-new ribbon as opposed to WWII vintage. It is missing the brooch. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Arendall Posted December 24, 2020 Share #3 Posted December 24, 2020 Hello, and welcome to the forum. It kind of looks like a navy version of the DFC. The pictures are a little blurry for me to tell, maybe someone else can answer this accurately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan H. Posted December 24, 2020 Share #4 Posted December 24, 2020 Trevor, the separately applied suspension ring is indicative of US mint strikes which are the type that was purchased by the Navy for issue to the Navy, Marines and Coast Guard. There were a LOT of AAF personnel who also received medals made this way, so the medal that started this post isn't specifically a Navy piece.
