Dear Don,

Souval badges are always good for heated discussions. You will get many opinions about Souval and his different markings. Both round (like the one you show) and edgy (like on my badge) markings are found on wartime Souval badges. Many collectors regard both of these types of Souval PABs as original wartime badges. I personally prefer the type of PAB I show a bit over the other one, but that I have to admit is just personal taste, the badge you show is original as well IMO.

Post war Souvals have in many cases a different catch.

Cheers, Frank
