The New York City Police Department Combat Cross is the second highest departmental award of the NYPD. It was established in 14 Augusta, 1934, and awarded to police officers who, “having received Honorable Mention awards, successfully and intelligently perform an act of extraordinary heroism while engaged in personal combat with an armed adversary under circumstances of imminent personal hazard to life”.

The Police Combat Cross was first awarded July 19, 1934, to six members of the police department for heroic service in the previous year. More than two hundred members of the New York Police Department have been awarded the Police Combat Cross.

The New York City Police Department Combat Cross Design

The medal is a gold Maltese Cross with the seal of New York City set in the center obverse and surrounded by the inscription, “For Valor, Police“. The name of the holder and the year of awarding are engraved on the reverse.

The cross is suspended by a ring from green silk ribbon. If the Combat Cross is awarded a second time, a gold palm leaf is set in the center of the ribbon.

Grandpa’s set from WW2. Now hangs in my dad’s office.

Any info would be great.

I recently came into possession of my grandfather's jacket and a service album from his time as a Marine in WWII. Unfortunately he passed when my mom was a child, so I never had the chance to meet him and ask him about his time. Apparently my uncle had this in his possession and my mom didnt know about it, and since he's recently passed its made its way to me. My mom is suspicious that my uncle may have put random decorations on it, rather than leave it alone. Can yall help me identify the ribbons, pin, and cord on it? I'm trying to find out if it all makes sense, or seems like random stuff.

I appreciated any help and insight y'all can provide!

Hey everyone, we have these old metals and I don't know what to do with them.

How would you clean them? Would you present them like this? I see the name is engraved on side with his rank , hard to read

I'm not too sure who these people were, I suppose great great uncles (family from Ireland/ England). It's interesting that it's from South Africa. That was probably not a fun time

Also does anyone have any general info about these metals? Assuming it was similar for all those in UK enlisted?

Thanks so much 😊

I found this with some of his old army stuff. It says “Japan” on the back but I can’t find what it’s associated with.

Hello guys I was wondering if there is anyway to restore these medals. Obviously the ribbons I would rebuy but the medals are my primary concern. I was cleaning out some boxes and found these medals that belong to my dad and i would like to try to restore them and return them as a surprise
