Hello there,

I kind of like it, that catch is VERY W&L-esque to me.

I don't think it is original..

It will be Friday now until I can get a better picture of the maker mark - which appears to have a 'slash' in it . Not the way one normally finds the L55 mark . The picture is blurry - it reminds me in shape and form of a -very skinny fake L/17 mark . Lets see what it looks like in the new picture .

Postwar Souval cross "L58" IMO.

Hi Douglas,

did not know that I have booked any ...dna.com web pages

http://www.kvk1-dna.de/l-55-rudolf-w...---pinback.php

This KVK1 looks more like a post war edition, due to the thin pin!

Personal, I would not trust in the shown KVK1 and pass on it

Would not be comfortable with that in the collection.

The Pin/catch set up reminds me of a 57er

The Pin/catch set up reminds me of a 57er

maybe with a swastika added (does look very crude and without sharp edges)

Thanks for the comments :
I did not like it much to start with ... and as pointed out it seams to be made post war . The one I paid for is now no longer available ... this substitute I was offered instead .

Cheers, Douglas
