      Good Souval badge.

        Hello,

        I think the badge is probably a good one, but it would be better to see straight-on shots of this and maybe with better lighting too. Souval badges of all kinds can be found everywhere, although you do not find Blockade Runner Badges by them very often. I have only ever owned two of them in 36 years of collecting.

        Looks like there is some distortion to the shape of the portholes, most noticeable on the lowermost row of six. I would assume that this was caused by material slippage as the dies compressed. Maybe you can post the diameter and weight of this example?

        Best regards,
        Tom

                  I agree with Tom on all points mentioed above.

                  The reverse harware is period compatible and measurments will be of help here,i think.

                  I like what i see so far but better straight on pictures,especially of the obverse would be of additional help.

                  Regards,Martin.

                        I would not buy this piece. These are not that rare and there are more believable pieces out there.
