18 and 25 years Long Service, original or not?

Hey guys, just got these 2 service badges from a dealer, any opinions?

They both look like post war Souval crosses to me.

Maker's mark of L/58.

Ugly birds for sure

That mark "L/58" on medals are generally regarded as post-war by many... They are VERY good construction, most likely very early post-war.

Post-war Souval's have a collecting interest of their own - they're not some ugly fake - they are very well made - and as good quality as wartime produced medals IMO.

[germanmedals]

Might be good quality, but birds are still ugly

[radar1937]

thanks for the reply.

[Antonio Scapini]

I agree that both these medals are postwar produced from Souval.
