Not for me

Not one I would want. Not sure if it is period or not but looks like there have been some repairs modifications to it at some time.

I agree with Steve on this point. This is a cast reproduction of a Souval with typical "Staegemeir-like" hardware, sans the "R.S." mark. Here it is side-by-side with another example. Both show some pitting of the surface and both share the same prominent pit in the leaf on the left side of the wreath. When they fake a cheap badge like this I don't know if they're wasting their time or honing their skills but either way, it's pretty annoying...

Best regards,
---Norm

Agreed, it's a fake.
