eddie Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Hi Lads,A friend picked this up for me on a recent trip to Hamburg and as I'm new to militaria collecting, can you tell me if it's genuine or not (no makers mark but looks very like a Juncker). Any help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie Posted March 8, 2007 Author Share Posted March 8, 2007 I'm afraid not. No sign of a mark anywhere (although that might just be my untrained eye). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ekhunter Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Interesting Micha, have bought a few nice EK I's over the last few months but not seen a Souval for sale, could you point me towards one for sale? Thanks, Ant.Bill Shea has a cased 1st class Souval for sale. Not cheap though!!!!!!!!! They pop up for sale quite often on the forums and military dealer's sites. I remember about a year ago one dealer had 3 Souval 1st classes for sale. Just keep looking. You can PM me if you like, and I will tell you where you can further look to find one. Good luck, Russel.

Motorhead Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 I like it,too-but when it comes to Souval you cant be shure to be at the save side.....we all know that they produced "souveniers" shortly after the wars end! So bought this one when it was offered to me with the knowledge that it's maybe wasted money....Micha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
