Did Souval ever make any other crosses (EK1's or 2's) during the war, or did they only make badges?

Best wishes,

Sara

Souval made both the EK1 and EK2 during the war. The EK1 has very recognisable ribbing on the outer corners. I don't have a pic but I'm sure someone can post one for you.

Thank you Richard, but there's relly no need for anyone to go to any trouble because I've seen photos of the pointy outer corner beading, it is extremely distinctive.

I asked because I saw a Souval EK1 lately and I wasn't sure if it was ok or not. One more question: with Souval badges you can usually tell by the catch if it's pre or post war. Are there any similar pointers with EK's?

Best wishes,

Sara

Postwar Souval EK 1s very often have a distinctly postwar (i.e., much narrower than wartime) pin. Also, they're often marked "L/58."

Thank you George
