[novara]

I love the patina / tarnish on this example, what do you think?

Interesting piece for sure!!!
Its a cast one, the question is.....is it an acceptable cast Souval, or just a cast fake of an S&L piece???
Going on these photo's, its hard to be sure for me....I haven't seen a cast Souval so worn, and such a condition...
Souval's of this type usually have a flatter wire suspension loop, rather than a round wire one, this one looks quite flat, so that's a match, it also appears to be made in a zinc type alloy, again good news for a Souval of this period.....
Can't be 100% sure to be honest Andrew, but I would go with cast Souval
