Post-war production. Made using the original dies and tools in the 1990`s. These are the next best thing to an original. Highly collectible now for many years. See the longer description below for more information. RUDOLF SOUVAL COLLECTION-Pilot’s/Observers Badge
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.

Tales of courage and sacrifices still live in the military artifacts that remain in our grandparents’ attics, basements, and footlockers.
