Hauptmann Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 Hi all,I could use some opinions on this one:Many thanks! Dan
TacHel Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 (edited) The design is on the money, I'm just surprised to see a "full" badge in lieu of a hollow one. All 1957 wound badges of any grade I've seen had a hollow back.ADDENDA: Well what do you know... I just found 2 other "full" ones just like this one. Mind you, all it means is that there's more than one, not necessarily good because it's on eBay. But encouraging. Edited July 3, 2009 by TacHel
Mike K Posted July 4, 2009 Posted July 4, 2009 Hi,I was watching that auction with interest. The badge is a Souval from the 50s or 60s. His badges from this period normally still had a swas of course, but this is one post-war Souval that I simply can not fault. It will be interesting to learn if there is a tiny L/58 stamp somewhere on the reverse.RegardsMike
TacHel Posted July 4, 2009 Posted July 4, 2009 I was quite surprised to see that badge myself. And you're correct, it looked better (more original) than many WW2 ones I've seen.
