Trying to be an S&L but not quite there. Here's a bronze & silver S&L. Stewy
Hi,
in my opinion an original so called soft scooped vienna design IAB made by an unknown maker.
Here is my example for comparision.

Hi Guys
I agree with Sven, the badge you show is an unknown original referred to as a Vienna Design with semi-hollow rifle and Block hinge hardware. The descriptive name derives from the obverse design that is very similar to the know Wien or Vienna makers; F. Orth, GR&Co., W. Hobacher and R. Souval.
The example that Sven shows differs only in the hardware set up; his has a sheet metal hinge and a circular shaped catch plate.
Here is my block hinge example with the directly soldered "?" style catch for comparison.
Best Regards, fischer
PS> These are not as prevalent as the Souval example you posted and if you can secure this one for a good price, I would grab it.
Hi guys,
And here it is one of mine which has the hinge soldered in a lower position than yours and it has a "rounded" pin instead pointed.
Best regards.
