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.

This is a great place filler, until an original wartime one can be obtained.
