1st class War merit cross L58 - is this a Souval post war?

[kalamees]

I just picked up a collection of badges and this was with them, when I did some research it came back as Souval which made me think post War. What do you think?

Appears to be a war time zinc example to me.

Thanks Chet, I have found an exact copy of this medal but with swords that had been sold online before. I am getting more confident yhat this could be a War time example, I just always look on the worst side when looking at these medals.

It doesn't raise concerns to me.

I have Souval’s postwar 1st class kvks with and without swords, both with S&L hardware. This is not one of them. Looks good.
