My humble collection ....

And now - IMO - one of the rarest pieces postwar made by Souval ... the Grand Cross.
Measuring 63x63 cm and weighing 37.10 gram ... attached ribbon is 57 mm wide.
Added another Souval RK to clearly show the dimensions of the Grand Cross ... its massive.
This one as well is 3-piece made, has magnetic core, but unmarked example.

Great Crosses Mathijs!!!!
I'm glad you got the Grand Cross too, as this completes the Souval set!!
I know these are only really collectors pieces, whereas some Souval "normal" RK's can be linked to vets, but they are very collectable in their own right!!
I think these will only increase in value and desirability, i dont know how many of the Grand Cross or Diamonds Souval made, but it can't have been a huge number, as they are'nt seen very often!!!
So, congrats on all your fine new additions!!!
ps........I think it can only be a matter of time before you buy your first wartime RK!!!

As the "normal" Souval KC is indeed more commonly found, the diamond OLS versions and the Grand Cross are NOT.
Made for collectors ... yes, but IMO a good investment for the future.
And ... feel free to sponsor me on buying a wartime RK, Nigel.
Saves me from selling my entire collection to buy one.

Indeed i do love them Mathijs!!!
If i were you, i would'nt rule out the possibility of getting a wartime RK one day, but i certainly would'nt sell off your wonderful 57er/postwar collection to do it!!!
I shall send my contribution to your wartime RK fund, but i will require you to send me the RK for a couple of days every year to drool over!!!!!!

Great additions and sum up, buddy
You can´t get better postwar made pieces from these unpayable (if avaiable) originals and for me these Souvals are really worth collecting.
Souval postwar pieces can only be topped by B-frame S&L´s with swaz.
But only Souval made the full range incl. diamonds, golden diamonds and the Grand Cross
That is a line up i would like to collect, too. But sadly i have to quit ...... Souval RK´s are getting expensive

But I still have a few of them
I tried to make pictures, But you will see that it didn't work out that well:.
Mine that is almost identical (has no L/58 mark) and is IMO a converted postwar copy by Souval.Attached FilesLast edited by LuckyLuudje; 01-21-2012, 03:51 PM.
