This is a product of the Robbins Co. given the black brooch; this would date this piece to 1944-45 if I recall correctly. The asking price is not at all out of line.

[Hunt for the IronCross]

[Steven M]

Case or no case, still a good buy in my opinion.

I know this is reviving an old thread, but I was hoping for some help. My great-great uncle was awarded the DSC and the Croix de Guerre posthumously in 1918. The medals have disappeared into the possession of an unknown distant relative and I fear I will never see them again. As such, I decided to find period replacement medals that I can pass down on my side of the family (not representing them as HIS, but period replacements of medals he received - I'm not trying to fool anyone). Anyway I found a period Croix de Guerre on ebay, but can't seem to find, or rather I don't know how to identify, nor where to buy a 1918 DSC, since ebay isn't an option. Can you tell me what to look for to identify it as a WWI medal and where's a good place to look for one? Thanks so much in advance for your assistance - this really means a great deal to me.

I wouldn't know sorry. But I own a ww2 cased dsc.

I received an email from a gentleman who said that a WW2 replacement would probably be the best way to go anyway, because they sell for about $250, as opposed to a WW1, which sell for about $3000 for the medal alone and $5000-7000 with papers and photos. I think for now I'll settle for the replacement from the Army and cross my fingers that the real thing comes out of the woodwork eventually.

[Hunt for the IronCross]

Yeah that would probably be the best thing to do.
