Hi Dietrich,

I hope a good one? I´m always a little bit unsure with this Souval ones.
It has a brass core.
Best wishes

Clearly a Souval piece.


Dietrich

[Kecon]

Another Souval?

Rudy was a very busy man wasn't he?

Ken

[Laurence Strong]

Is Souval good or bad


Laurence

[Dietrich Maerz]

IMHO a good one. A brass core points to early in the war. I don't habe a problem with it.


Dietrich

[Kecon]

Sorry Joerg. I should explain my earlier comment.

I did not mean to imply that your cross was bad.
My comment refers to the many crosses with Souval frames
that seem to be popping up lately. As well as making his own crosses,
Rudolph must have been supplying frames to other makers as well.

He surely did! Otto Schickle is one prominent example.

[Laurence Strong]

Could you expalain what to look for, and do I understand that he built some EK's after the war????


Laurence

[Dietrich Maerz]

Look for the green spots:


- typical corner
- low three
- narrow swastika
- rounded corners

The cross belongs to George. Hope he doesn't mind.

Dietrich

[George Stimson]

I do not mind at all.
