With the advent of the internet, its much harder these days for dealers to pass this crap onto unsuspecting collectors.

Sure, but is it known when Souval exactly made these L/58 marked badges?Comment

They were produced in the 60s, there are a few collectors on the forum that actually purchased badges directly from Souval through a catalog during this time.Originally posted by medalnet View Post
The hardware setup is also very consistent with post war 1957 awards, and was not used wartime.

Tom, thanks a bunch for this statement, I thought it was imortant to point that out, this those L/58 marked badges are very well made and easily been taken for something made before 1945.Last edited by medalnet; 07-07-2009, 10:29 AM.Comment
