Hi Mirco,

Definitely not early post-war. In fact I'm not sure that they are by Souval at all, despite the suggestive hardware. The outlines are wrong on the Minesweeper and you can see a clear casting line around the margin of the Blockade Breaker...maybe fakes based upon Souval?

Best regards,

They are postwar made by Rudolf Souval

Hi Andy,

So are you saying Souval later made castings of his own blockade breaker badge? I know the hardware looks like post-war Souval, but do you know something else about this production that shows this is Souval's own production rather than copies of Souval?

Best regards,

The hook of the needle is also typical of the post-war

I agree, both are fakes or at the best postwar RS pieces
