    Estand - EK1 1939 unmarked Souval?

    Hi,

    Any thoughts on this cross on the estand?
    Is is a Souval?
    Why?

    Thanks,
    David.

    At Rathau on the Aller, the CO of 5th Royal Tanks advanced on foot to take a cautious look into the town before his tanks moved in. He encountered one of his own officers, a huge Welshman named John Gwilliam who later captained his country's rugby team, 'carrying a small German soldier by the scruff of his neck, not unlike a cat with a mouse.' The Colonel said: 'Why not shoot him?' Gwilliam replied in his mighty Welsh voice: 'Oh no, sir. Much too small.'

    Souval's have a distinct raised diagonal bead in each top corner.

          Peter:

          It's hard to tell looking at the pic. If it is it needs re-doing
          I'll let you know mid next week.

          Bill:

          I hate to ask but do you have an example of EVERY cross made?
          Thanks for posting,...again

          Cheers
          David.
