WH (Kriegsmarine) so-called: 'Kriegsabzeichen für Schnellboote - 2. Modell' (or: E-boat-war-badge of the 2nd model) being a maker- (ie. 'RS'-) marked example as was produced by the: 'Rudolf Souval'-company

This is a neat - albeit moderately used and worn but nevertheless quite desirable and not that easily encountered! - example of a WH (Kriegsmarine) so-called: 'Kriegsabzeichen für Schnellboote - 2. Modell' (or: E-boat-war-badge of the 2nd model) being a clearly maker- (ie. 'RS'-) marked example that was produced by the Austrian-based: 'Rudolf Souval'-company and that comes in an overall nice- (albeit moderately used- and/or worn-), condition. The attractive zinc- (ie. 'Feinzink'-) based- (and I deem somewhat later-war-period produced-) badge has regrettably lost most of its original golden- and/or silver-toned finish: this has faded-away over the years ie. has 'migriert' (as can be seen on the pictures). The catch, pin and/or pin-set-up are naturally present and unaltered but the pin is hard to open. The war-badge is as stated above nicely maker-marked on its back and shows the to be expected 'RS'-logo denoting that it deals with a piece that was produced by the: 'Rudolf Souval'-company as based in the town of Wien (ie. Vienna). The details of this - never cleaned nor polished - badge are still quite detailed and sharp. Simply an attractive 2nd. model 'E-boat'-war-badge that is with certainty accordingly priced!
