joetauchretter Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 In my opinion this is a reproduction badge . I think it looks like a cast badge and I do not like the pin assembly and the way it is attached to the badge . Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Williamson Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 I'd agree with Michel and Joe. Original Souvals exist with both round and angular form RS letters but so do fakes. The LDO mark itself doesn't necessarily mean its wrong, but even though this one has the correct wartime style pin fittings, the sloppy quality combined with the L/58 suggests to me that this might be a postwar piece assembled from original wartime parts before Souval went over to using their distinctive postwar style retaining clip.

Weseruebung Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Hallo,the RS badge looks ok, but the L/58 is a sign of a postwar production. This pieces were sold at military fairs in the 70 for the first time and i assume they all were produced in the 70 ies.Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
