Rudolf Souval was born in Vienna, Austria, in 1819. His workshop was based in Straße der Julikämpfer 23 in Vienna. After Souval died in 1899, the firm was taken over by Mr. Ludwig Umlauf and his wife, who continued to produce awards under the Souval name. The company continued producing awards after the Second World War ended. These came onto the collectors market as originals because the same dies and tools were used. The give-away was the catch, which was very distinctive and different from any WW2 production.
