BUY / RESERVE THIS ITEMDescription: Die struck alloy award with silver wash finish. The nicely detailed badge features an embossed, vertically oval, oak-leaf wreath with a Wehrmacht style eagle with down-swept wings, superimposed to the top center, encompassing a cut-out rifle with fixed bayonet and sling. The reverse has a soldered rectangular sheet metal hinge inset into a rectangular recess, a thin round vertical pin, and a directly-soldered round wire catch hook. The reverse is well marked with relief letters R.S. for Rudolf Souval. This badge remarkably retains 95% of its original silver finish. (avoid these badges made with a sheet metal catch known as the “Souval Claw”)
