Stiffy 1 Posted October 13, 2009 Finally got a pilot to survive long enough to get a medal! Just recieved my first DFC for shooting my 7th German plane down. Getting the hang of the DH2 now... if its not all over by Christmas maybe I'll get a nieuport 16.... One thing is odd though... Ive recieved the Distinguished Flying Cross in September 1916... It didnt exist until April 1918... not that I'm complaining! Now to find one on ebay... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RAF_Louvert 101 Posted October 13, 2009 Well done Stiffy. Good luck finding an original 1918 version of the DFC, it's one of the hardest to locate. You can go to this website and get a replica of the later version: Award Productions And then go to this website and purchase the 1918 replacement ribbon, (DFC 1st type): Jeremy Tenniswood Militaria Cheers!

Stiffy 1 Posted October 13, 2009 Thanks... but I already found an early type on ebay. Likely that they are easier to come by on ebay.co.uk than on ebay.com Theres another one there at the moment if anyone is interested! replica i mean... not a real one!
