Distinguished Flying Cross bought of Ebay.

[Guest Duncan]

Hello,

I'm making a tentative expansion into US WWII medals and bought this one recently:

Could some kind experts give me their opinions please? Have I bought a dud? My guess is that's it's an old and genuine medal, but not issued and hence not named?

It is a WWII-vintage DFC. In this case, it was made for the Navy (distinguished by the suspension ring at the top arm being braised on rather than an integral part of the pendant). It looks like it might have been re-ribboned, which many US collectors avoid.

Many thanks for the feedback.
