Description Sea Battle Badge. Very rare souval badge dating from the late 1960`s. A badge like this is a highly collectible as original was never issued. Stock limited. 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 to produce awards after the end of the Second World War. These came onto the collectors market as original because they the same dies and tools were used. The give away was the catch which was very distinctive and different from any WW2 production.
