Scott Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 The front looks close; but in my opinion, the reverse looks all wrong for this maker (hinge, pin, catch, markings, etc.). I'd be curious to hear what others say.Scott
Tom63 Posted January 21, 2008 Author Posted January 21, 2008 (edited) Harold Geissler(Das Eiserne Kreuz von 1813 bis heute) shows a private purchase Souval EK1 pinback, rounded centre corners, marked L/58 935 RS. Edited January 21, 2008 by Tom63
mametz Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Very unusual never seen one like that beforei think it could be wright. Mametz
Alex K Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 (edited) The beading is certainly Souvalesque, however as pointed out already, pin, clasp etc certainly not, seems familiar to later post war methods of attaching the pin to the back, no dipping 3 in the date either, which suggests that he had at least 2 core dies if it is Souval, Interesting pieceregardsAlex KEdit, just looked at my genuine Souval, the method of attaching the pin to the rear is the same as that posted. however the pin, clasp and date are different, still even more interesting now Edited January 22, 2008 by Alex K
