paul wood Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 I have recently come across a US Distinguished Service Cross and a Distinguished Flying Cross both engraved on the reverse in capitals FOR DISPLAY, does anyone have any idea about the status of these pieces. I have tried googling but with no success, mind you if you googled Chimpanzee you would probably get " Aaron B Chimpanzee was born in Brownsville Texas October 5 1928". Any help gratefully received.

Megan Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 I would imagine that they are given/sold to museums for display purposes, or maybe to military bases... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Brouillard Jr. Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 These were sent to Museums, Collectors, and Veteran Groups as wall display items - They have some value but not as much as an awarded medal Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
