    Many things are wrongs on this badge, not an original IMO.

    Hello michel and joe

    Many thanks .

    The assembly pin and the excess of soldering are not unusual , I am doubtful about the space between eagle and wreath, the flag ,the rudder and the mark (?) incuse in a little square .

    regards

    giorgio

    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.
