A Souval Reproduction


This is an attempt to reproduce the Coburg Badge and although unverified, it is believed to be made by Souval. Take note that the outer areas of the Swastika were filled in this reproduction and the ovalish perimeter has been badly encircled, being not a perfect oval. On the reverse, the pin system is incorrect and the back is wrong. The firm of Rudolf Souval of Vienna made medals and badges during the Third Reich,but after the war continued to produce their products and ceased trading in the mid Seventies. The original Coburg Badges were made by the firm Deschler and Sohn. Image courtesy of Bob Hunter, GMIC.
