EARLY TYPE-1 1930S UNITED STATES DISTINGUISHED FLYING CROSS MEDAL CASE, LOCKING PUSH BUTTON TYPE. (TOP INSIDE PART MISSING & REPAIRED). The Distinguished Flying Cross is a military decoration awarded to any officer or enlisted member of the United States Armed Forces who distinguishes himself or herself in support of operations by heroism or extraordinary achievement while participating in an aerial flight, subsequent to November 11, 1918. The first award of the Distinguished Flying Cross was made by President Calvin Coolidge on May 2, 1927, to ten aviators of the U. Army Air Corps who had participated in the U. Army Pan American Flight, which took place from December 21, 1926 to May 2, 1927. Two of the airmen died in a mid-air collision trying to land at Buenos Aires on February 26, 1927, and received their awards posthumously. Since the award had only been authorized by Congress the previous year, no medals had yet been struck, and the Pan American airmen initially received only certificates. Among the ten airmen were Major Herbert A. Dargue, Captains Ira C. Eaker and Muir S. Fairchild, and 1st Lt. Charles Lindbergh received the first presentation of the medal little more than a month later, from Coolidge during the Washington, D. Homecoming reception on June 11, 1927, from his trans-Atlantic flight. The medal had hurriedly been struck and readied just for that occasion. Interestingly, the 1927 War Department General Order G. 8, authorizing Lindbergh’s DFC states that it was awarded by the President, while the General Order G. 6 for the Pan American Flyers’ DFC citation notes that the War Department awarded it by direction of the President. The first Distinguished Flying Cross to be awarded to a Naval Aviator was received by then Commander Richard E. Byrd, USN for his trans-Atlantic flight from June 29 to July 1, 1927 from New York City to the coast of France. Byrd, along with his pilot, Machinist Floyd Bennett, received the Medal of Honor for their historic flight to the North Pole on May 9, 1926 but they did not receive the DFC for that flight as the DFC had not yet been created. Numerous military recipients of the medal would later earn greater fame in other occupationsa number of astronauts, actors, and politicians including former President George H. Bush have been Distinguished Flying Cross recipients. DFC awards could be retroactive to cover notable achievements back until the beginning of World War I. On February 23, 1929, Congress passed special legislation to allow the award of the DFC to the Wright brothers for their December 17, 1903 flight. Other civilians who have received the award include Wiley Post, Jacqueline Cochran, Roscoe Turner, Amelia Earhart, Glenn H. Curtiss and Eugene Ely. Eventually, it was limited to military personnel by an Executive Order. Amelia Earhart became the first woman to receive the DFC on July 29, 1932 when it was presented to her by Vice President Charles Curtis in Los Angeles. Earhart received the decoration for her solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean earlier that year. During World War II the medal’s award criteria varied widely depending on the theater of operations, aerial combat, and the missions accomplished. In the Pacific oftentimes commissioned officers were awarded the DFC, while enlisted men were given the Air Medal. In Europe some crews, often received it for performances throughout a tour of duty; elsewhere different criteria were used. During wartime, members of the Armed Forces of friendly foreign nations serving with the United States are eligible for the Distinguished Flying Cross. It is also given to those who display heroism while working as instructors or students at flying schools. “Gabby” Gabreski, USAF, received 13 Distinguished Flying Crossesthe most earned by any individual. He is followed by Admiral Stan Arthur, USN, with 11 DFCs. Please let me know if there’s anything else I can do for you!

This is the real deal, NOT a reproduction. These were made by a variety of furniture makers and other subcontractors. These came in different dimensions and sizes per whomever was doing the ordering (police, FBI, etc) so there is no cookie cutter blueprint on these. This one features a black faux? Leather exterior and chrome plated corner protectors showing some rust, blue felt lining very nice albeit dirty in spots, also has original brass cleaning rod, one brush along with a key for the lock. Cleaning rod snap works and is intact. All exterior latches work and are marked USA Excelsior, Stamford, Conn. Main lock has rocket type logo on it and works. As expected, the felt is dirty and shows signs of wear along with small rips inside from drum magazine and other use. Reserve has been decided and set only after speaking to a few other experts. Thank you and good luck. Own a rare piece of tommy gun history. Not sure if it fits an M1/M1A1 or not. Lots of room though. FOR ALL THE EXPERTS OUT THERE WHOM CANNOT READ! I do not state anywhere in this ad that this case is from the 1930’s, nor have I implied that it’s from that time period! “FBI case” in the title has no purpose but for searching and finding this item, as that is what most people refer to this case as. I’m simply saying this case is NOT a modern reproduction. This is a case purposely built for the Thompson decades ago. External Dimensions (rounded up slightly). 11 high (including handle folded flat).

Mint Agronomy Engineer Gala Bicorn in its Original Case. This amazing article is an antique bicorn for the Agronomy Engineers civil cops, stored in its original case and in wonderful condition. It comes in its original painted metal case, with the lock and the key in perfect condition: it shows off an impressive condition, especially if we consider its ancient age. This is surely an authentic and rare piece that will catch the eye of every lover of antiques. The bicorn that we can see in the images is covered of black fur, a material that covers both sides and the central part too. The edges show off a lovely golden embroidered lining that makes a deep and lovely contrast with the black fur. In one of the hats sides there is a silk rosette with the colors of the Spanish flag (red and yellow), covered by a group of brown and golden cords tied to a golden metal button. Inside the hat shows a fine white satin lining with the mark of the maker: JUSTO GOMEZ, a hat shop located in Madrid. On the other hand, the storing case is made of metal sheet and is painted brown. The enameled finish is embellished with a golden painted line. This fantastic Spanish bicorn is a historic piece, as well preserved as decorative and fascinating. Royal Corps of Agricultural Engineers The first uniforms receiving the agricultural engineers are defined by Royal Order of April 2, 1878, issued as a proposal from the Directorate General of Public Instruction, Agriculture and Industry. Interestingly, it is spoken of “Corps Shield” when the Corps of Agricultural Engineers, being strict, has not been established yet (will be created by the Royal Decree of 14 February 1879). The uniform will be ratified in the Organic Regulation of the Corps of Agricultural Engineers of 1887 RD of December 9 / G. In 1879 the Corps has chief engineers, first engineers, second and third engineers. 1878 standard defines gala uniforms, residence and field. For gala, wearing a royal blue coat, sword and bicorn. IMPORTANT – SEE ALL THE PICTURES. This is an antique or vintage item , not a new item, and it’s not perfect as a new one. It may have minor scratches or hits not mentioned in this description but than can be seen in the many photos published with it. Scroll down the description to see all the photos. Photos are part of the description, because a picture is worth a thousand words. Please, study the pictures as part of the description and if you have any doubt ask me. Also be aware that when I say that an antique item is in perfect working conditions, doesn’t mean that it works as new. A machine with 100 years is not prepared to be working everyday during hours, except my antique clocks. Many things can happen inside an antique mechanism and today’s perfectly working spring, could be the future’s failure as far away as in 10 years or as near as the next month. It’s impossible to know exactly when. If necessary, we restore and/or repair and finally clean and/or adjust, all our antique machines, and if it’s there’s a defect or malfunctions, it’s clearly indicated in the description, video or pictures, but these machines are still antiques. For example, an antique car, a Ford T from 1910, may be in perfect working conditions, but this doesn’t mean that it works as new or that you can use this antique car as an everyday car to go to your job. I want to leave this clear as part of the description. Antiques, even in perfect working conditions, can’t be guaranteed as a new or second hand item. Not only the antique itself has 100 years old or more, but also each spring, screw, wheel and gear of its mechanism has also 100 years or more. Of course, if something happens we can help to solve the problem, even repairing it, we know experts in many areas, but understand that even a perfectly working antique is still an antique. I think I left nothing in the description but if I forgot something, I’ll be glad to answer any questions. We are professional antique dealers. Simply shop away and then request the total from us. Enjoy my articles and I hope we keep in touch. Thanks for trusting me and enjoy! Best wishes from Spain. Our work is not complete until you receive your item safely in your home. We certify that our products are 100% originals. We certify that the description and dating of the article that we give is 100% accurate. This article will be perfectly packed so that it arrives in excellent condition. We pay full attention that you receive your article perfectly. We treat the article as if it were going to be sent to ourselves. WE GUARANTEE YOUR ACQUISITION. Many collectors have became millionairs. If you are starting a collection, follow these important tips. If you want to invest in antiques, always choose original pieces and avoid reproductions. A reproduction loses half of its value in the same minute that you are purchasing it, while an original antique gains value each passing day. This is an original antique and its value will continue growing tomorrow. Read and learn about for area of interest: swords, clocks, phonographs, antique photos, old silver, technical antiques, typewriters… Invest in books as much as in your collection and learn as much as you can. If you keep your collecction catalogued, you will increase its value. Keep yourself informed about the market prices in your area of interest. Collect antiques, not junk. It is always better a small collection with excellent pieces than a huge collection of junk, rusty irons and broken machines. There is not a goal to reach, so take the pleasure in in the process of your treasure hunting. A collection should be something to enjoy, and there is many interesting pieces out there and very few time to enjoy them, so be selective with your choices. If you follow these simple steps you will be in the correct direction to develop an excellent collection, whatever is your area of interest and, for me the most important of all, enjoying the process. WHO WE ARE & ABOUT ME. Saragossa is a Spanish medium size city of 700.000 people, located just in the middle of the way between Madrid and Barcelona, 300 kms from each one, and also equidistant 300 kms. To other cities as Bilbao and Valencia. Its an antique city founded by the Romans, by the Emperor Caesar Augustus more than 2000 years ago, capital of the powerful antique Kingdom of Aragon, 900 years ago and during the Medieval times, and first defeat of Napoleons troops in Europe during the Napoleonic Wars in the early 19th Century, among other History.. Here I was born, here I live, and here I have my small antiques shop. We are proffesional antique dealers. I started in this world as a collector. My father introduced me into the world of antique collectibles and I started my own antique search at flea markets for my own small antiques collections since I was very young. I’ve been a professional antique dealer since the year 2003, when I decided to join my passion with my way of living. And more than 20 years as a collector, and I still have a lot to learn and only a little to teach. We are a registered legal antique bussiness, here in Spain. I have a small shop open to the public in Saragossa and we are open from 9:00 to 19:00 hours, Madrid time. You are welcome to visit me whenever you wish. And finally, as I mentioned before, I have my own web shop, for 5 years now, in Spanish language although it can be translated to almost any language using the Google Translator button, in the upper part of the web page. The translation is not perfect but its good in an 80%, totally understandable and you can always ask me. Mainly, I started specialized in Antique machines as gramophones, music boxes, clocks, watches but today, I also work with other first class collector items as cameras, militaria, antique scientific instruments To be exact, nowadays, I work with any first class antique that I could find at a correct price and that we could transport worldwide. We have a wide experience in packing and sending safely World Wide, from China and Singapore, to Dallas, San Francisco, New York or London, Canada, and of course almost all European Countries, many American ones including Mexico, Argentina and Colombia, and not forgetting Australia, South Africa, Israel and some in the Middle East as Catar and Emirates. We have sent successfully, from fragile items as Chinese Porcelain, to heavy items as Slot Coin Machines, not together into the same box, of course! . We can send almost everything with security, no matter how big or heavy it is, if the client wants to pay the price, because some heavy or big items or delicate items into big boxes are specially expensive to send, not perhaps within Europe, but sometimes to America or Asia and some require custom made packing, as custom made wooden boxes or special foam for transport protection. We work with Selected pieces. All my items are first class collectors items, in excellent conditions , conservation state or/and working conditions. If talking about antique machines, most of them are in perfect working conditions, perfect conservation state or perfectly restored. The few that are not, because it was not possible to repair it, it’s clearly indicated. I like to work with the best pieces that I can find. I prefer to work only with selected pieces. Selected’ doesnt mean’unaffordable’. My pieces have very correct prices, depending on the rarity and the conservation state of the piece itself. Every piece has a price rank, from junk state to museum state, that I consider is the highest one. Selected means that I prefer to work with Museum State pieces, or near, and First Class collectors items, or near rather than other kind of low quality pieces. We guarantee the description and datation of all our pieces. I always give guarantee my descriptions, not only in general antiques, but even in the working condition of an antique machine. Of course, to be completely sincere, its mainly impossible to give a full guarantee in the working condition of an antique working machine with over or more than 100 years. Many things can happen inside an antique mechanism and todays perfectly working spring, could be the futures failure as far away as in ten years or as near as the next month. If necessary, we restore and/or repair and finally clean and/or adjust, all our antique machines, and if its there’s a defect or malfunctions, its clearly indicated in the description, video or pictures. We try to have all our pieces in perfect working conditions, but if a disaster occurs and the item gets out of order or damaged, for any reason, we can help to solve the problem or to help to repair it or to restore it. We work with first class professionals that can restore from antique medieval paintings to 13th Century silver, other metals as iron, copper and bronze, to any kind of wood. Also, we can repair antique machines as gramophones, antique clocks, typewriters and antique mechanical calculators. Our Priority is your satisfaction. And the most important of all, we always take great care of the customer service. Clients experience with antiques should be always pleasant and happy, or, if this is not completely possible, at least satisfactory and full of joy. Our workonly ends, not when we sell the piece, but when our client have the piece in his hands, safely and in good conditions. I speak English fluently, some French, and, of course, Spanish. Thanks for reading this, I hope to deal with you soon, and we stay in touch. The item “Mint Agronomy Engineer Gala Bicorn in its Original Case.
