Heer General Assault in Silver RS

[Avitas]

Hi, I've heard various opinions on this specific badge. Some say the round R.S. Rudolf Souval badges are all post-war. I've also heard that 1944-45 used the round markings. Any ideas on it?

Thanks,

Pat

Here is the back, R.S marking.

I think this might be a casting from an original badge. Better pics of the hinge/catch will tell for sure.

Sorry ! I have to agree with Don .

The showed GAB by RS dont look like an original one .

Post back of mine for compare .

The hinge looks the same, but the mark is really bad on mine. The pin has been replaced, as well. No chance it could be a late issue?

Oh well, good thing I didn't pay much for these badges or I would be really angry, but I paid enough! Anyways, I'm sure the rest of my collection (barring the Third Reich badges) will do better. Look for my tinnies and political/civil medals in the coming days and weeks. I also have many British Empire medals and Canadian cap badges.

Thanks for the responses on this RS copy!

ANy body have any hints on how to distinguish between period die-casts and hand-casts of originals?

THanks,

Pat
