Brilliants are post-war Souval manufacture.

But the ribbon, 25(?) stiches of white... Genuine

[Tom B]

Yes, these are Souval's for sure Tom

[Matthieu]

Do believe both are good ( but postwar ) Souval pieces, however someone ruined the KC by added a false stamp.
Otherwise, this set would be quite collectable for Souval collectors ( as myself ).

[luftwaffenkopf]

thank you for your help with these. any idea if they are worth anything?

I count 23 on the white, not 25, but the ribbon could still be perfectly real, as that "count" existed during wartime. The diamonds, however, indeed look to be Souval, and the cross is a post-1957 S&L (not Souval) with significant beading flaws and a paint job which looks post-assembly from these photos. I wonder whether, in person, the F&B stamp would show up as a slight bulge on the other side of the cross.

[Tony T-S]

I wondered if it might be an S&L. Didn't jump out as Souval. A real shame about the stamp. I would probably buy this, ingnoring the stamp, but just the cross. I would pay $200 for as it is now. I think you might get more for each piece individually than together because people won't want the fake stamp, but you never know. You have good post war Souval diamonds for starters. Souval collectors would be interested in them on their own

I saw a couple sets of these Souval diamonds last year at the SOS. The dealer was asking $150.00 per set.......they did not sell by the shows end. Tom

[Matthieu]

Indeed, the cross itself is St&L ( just seeing the beading flaws now ).
As the KC is compromised by the fake stamp, value has dropped a little.
Guess it should get you at least couple of hundred of Euro ?
