Hi John,

I see it's now for sale on the Estand.

I've always liked that version of the Souval but wonder if there is any chance of getting more info as to where the vet acquired the cross? Particularly when. It might help resolve some issues surrounding Souval EK1 if it could be shown he picked it up prior to the end of the war.

Regards,
Stu

War time or post war ?? I agree with Douglas opinions are split on that,but IMO this the set a wartime piece
