Yet another U-boat badge and mini for review

[Martin Frohberg]

Hello,
I'm new to this forum, and I also want Your opinion on a badge which was given to me a couple of years ago. I always thought it to be a fake...

Its a wartime Rudolf Souval that has lost its gold finish

Welcome to WAF!
Kul att se ännu en svensk här!

I agree with AndyC. Original, but not in the best condition.

[Martin W]

I also agree,a good period compatible award by RS.

Regards,Martin.

Agreed, nice zinc Souval U-boat badge
Cheers,
Hubert

[Martin Frohberg]

Thank you all, its so nice when a badge appears to be genuine! Your knowledge are awsome!

I also have a miniature. Should I post some images on this too? Is it even possible to tell who made the miniature?

[Martin Frohberg]

Ah, well here goes...

Dimensions are 20,6 mm wide, 13,5 mm high, and the pin is 51 mm long

No markings what so ever?

[AndyC]

Well i like it, soon you will get some more inputs


Andy

[Martin Frohberg]

Apparently not

[Stu W]

Welcome to WAF.

Mini looks good.

You probably won't get much more input on the mini because you have added it into the thread after most regular visitors to the KM section have viewed your first postings. They will have no way of knowing there is now another item to consider so won't come back to the thread.

Regards,
Stu

[Martin Frohberg]

Ah, thanks Stu, of course you are right, I didn't think of that

I'll guess I'll post it as a new thread

i always thought in the war time souval mark the s was more straight and angular and this s in the mark was a post war marking........please advise if i am mistaken,i would like to know for my own interest..........dave
