Gut feeling is yes it is a fake beause I do not like the frame and what looks like a swastika.

Hi Slim,

I don't really like the catch, but judging by the scratches around it it might have been replaced.
Can you post better pics?
(not under an angle, but straight-on)

It's a de-nazified souval with, as far as I can see in the second pic, a replaced catch .

I really don't know.
Maybe other members know more about this maker.

I personally don't buy a Souval without provenance!
The chance to be post-war is to big for me to spend my money on.
