Bob Hunter Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 US Navy Aviation Machinist Chief Petty Officer. Gold chevrons indicate years and years of good conduct as you can tell from the Navy Good Conduct Medal with two awards(stars).
notned Posted October 5, 2005 Author Posted October 5, 2005 Thanks Bob,Is it WWII? and how much would one expect to pay for such an item?Many thanksPaul
JBFloyd Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 The ribbon set is from the 1950s at the earliest: Navy Good Conduct Medal, with 2 stars; American Defense Service Medal (pre-7 Dec 1941 service); American Campaign; Asiatic-Pacific Campaign; WWII VIctory; National Defense Service Medal.The National Defense Service Medal came in during the Korean War. so the ribbons are no earlier than that. The Surface Warfare badge is a much later addition to the Navy's inventory of badges, I think. I can't help on value.Jeff Floyd
