But like many other things overpriced IMHO, my Souval cost me 30USD, and I would not pay anymore than that for one, and mine came with Souval hollow oaks, souval case to boot

I agree, which decade was that when you purchased cased 30 buck Souval? lol

Hi Guys, It would have been in the 70's, I am trying to search my archives to find details, I know that I took photo's on black and white negative film at the time (This modern fangled digital stuff didn't exist then!) If I can I will post just for interest, and yes they were cheap, unfortunately sold as genuine by numerous British dealers, without actually saying so, it was caveat empor and I came unstuck, but at that price, what the hell

the first one I found

Ignore the OLS in picture 2 they are modern repros and bought as such, Ignore the Souval EK1 which may also appear, it's not part of the thread but another one

interesting reverse of the hollow oaks, unfortunately young children and medals don't always mix so the loop has been "Liberated"

Case it came in

I have examined the photobucket links and they appear to very difficult of access, but hopefully it works
