Hi Ben, here is mine, a bronze example. This one is the type with the small "RS" makers mark.


Cheers, Ade.

Mike,
The wide pin is a hard to find varaiton. Nice one! I know many put down the Souval badges because of all the reproductions that they turned out after the war. However, some of their war time badges are quite good.

I agree with you Chet, my Souval is very heavy & solidly made piece with nice detail.

If you know how to spot the difference between these & the post war ones, you can pick up a nice quality wartime Souval for much less than badges by other makers.
