Well, the fittings are exactly what I'd expect on a wartime piece.

I've never been particularly convinced about these double marked Souval pieces.

I have seen it suggested that the double marked pieces are leftover original wartime stock to which the L/58 stamp was added postwar. Even if that is the case, then the badge itself would be wartime, and certainly well worth the price you paid !!
