Rudolf Souval.

Rudolf Souval.

Great George, a coincidence as I have a R.S. General Assault badge as well. As I know nothing about EK1 Makers, what makes you say this one is R.S. ?

BTW There is writing on the reverse of the cardboard mounting inside the box...it says:

621 . KB .

"what makes you say this one is R.S. ?"

The way the beading meets at the outer corners, the fatness of the swaz, and the way the "3" in "1939" dips slightly lower than the other numbers.

Nice cross.

Cheers.

And the rounded inner corners.

Sven; Without a doubt this is a Rudolf Souval piece, has all the characteristcs of a RS EK.

Sorry if I am breaking protocall but I'm thinking of selling this along with the COA from Detlev, what would be a reasonable price to ask?

I would start with the same price you paid Detlev.
