Here is the latest addition to my Rudolf Souval family!

A nice bronze IAB.

Hi Jay

Looks to be a nice large font Souval, congrats on your new addition...

The large font examples are not as prevalent as the smaller R.S. marked IAB's making it a bit of a challenge to study them.

The coppery colored finish looks like the same coating used on my small font R.S. marked bronze.
This bronze finish also matches the so-called claw catch Post War Souvals, which raises more questions.

Can you tell me if the catch is directly soldered to the reverse or does it have a small circular catch plate?

Best Regards, fischer

Hi, here's mine. Not sure if it's a small or large font. Catch is gone. Sure looks like a different badge from Jay's.

Hi Guys

Thanks for the pics of the catch Jay!

Here is my small font RS in bronze.

This one used to be in a friends collection and now he has allowed me to watch over it...
