Africa medal by Souval

[tompress]

Hi,

I suppose, this is a typical zincer Type 5, with Lorioli-Milano mark, but made by Rudolf Souval, Wien. There is also (poor visible) L58 mark on the loop. Am I right?

The second question is, if these medals are war-time or post war copies. There are different opinions in the net...

They are all (or at least almost all) wartime leftovers.
After the was Souval sold the Afrikamedaille die to S&L, that started his postwar production. So Souval never produced them after the war.
