Souva Ek1 For Review

Is this a war time made cross or postwar?

Looks OK to me. Better pictures would be helpful though.

Thanks, its on the estand, I just purchased it, I just wanted to make sure it was a war time cross since Souval made a lot of post war ones.

Here is the back.

Have you a photo that you can post of the obverse side of the disc? I think it should be viewed before final judgement is passed.

He did not show a photo of it, I will ask.

[twoodson412]

Should it be marked L56 or is it L58?

Should it be marked L56 or is it L58?

All period authentic ones I have seen or owned had the L58 mark. Not L/58 but L58 without the slash.

I do not agree with your opinion. Souvala screw back crosses were not always marked. This is with a swastika on a pedestal. In my opinion this is a war cross.

I did not offer an opinion. I stated what my experience has been.

Thank you for your patience. As you can see is not always blindly read the opinions of others. Congratulations on your purchase.

2 more photos, someone thought the swas may have been taken off and re-applied, I do not know if this helps, but I can tell from the sides that it has not been.
