    This is one Souval cross I do happen to like!

    This one came in today.

    I am not really keen on Souval crosses normally, but this one is kind of hard to find!
    It may sound amazing, but it's my only Souval cross

    Enjoy!

    Best regards,
    Ben

            L/58 --> Postwar Mark? Postwar Cross?
            It is intersting indeed Darrell.
            In fact it is the same discussion as the L/15-L15 crosses.

            This cross came in a grouping through one of my German contacts.
            He always has good stuff, and this group came directly from the realtives of the veteran.

            To make it more confusing: it's non-magnetic.

            A good friend of mine recently got exactly the same cross directly from relatives of the vet through one of his ads.

            Mayby controversial, but I like non-textbook crosses.

                It was quite a pleasant surprise when I unpacked it, the pics weren't really good.
                It is in very good condition indeed!

Other than L15 is there any other L* markings that belong to PreMay 1945 badges? I know Floch has used L11, but can't seem to recollect seeing that on a non-reproduction Deumer badge.
                      If I hadn't known where it came from, mayby I would have passed.

                      Souval is a minefield, yes.

                      I have asked Uwe, who posted the remark on the L/58 - L58 thread on the GMIC to explain why L/58 is post-war.

                      I think I saw an L11 stamp on a regular Deumer a while ago, but can't find the thread.....

                          I also like it very much. I have never seen another.

                            Don't know if they mean that the company added the mark post-war, but someone else, to enhance the value.
                            This happens all the time.

                            Souval is particulary tricky, because the kept on producing for years after the war.....
