Hi Glenn,
I can't really research this right now but I don't like the pin or catch at this time.

Hardware resembles an S&L badge variation 1. However, the eagle shows some differences from the S&L badge in reference.

This badge has no resemblance to any period award that I know of ?


It certainly is not an S&L award IMO.


I have to say a postwar copy .


Cheers,Martin.

Hi Guys,

This is a circa 1960's Souval production. Aside from their leftover wartime stock, by this time Souval/Umlauf were making cast reproductions of their own and S&L design badges. That Coastal Artillery is cast from Souval's wartime design, but here are two attached badges from the same era with the same hardware setup which were cast from S&L designs. Note the "L/58" stamped into the reverse.

Best regards,
---Norm

Another Souval from the same era.
