Early Post-War - German Cross in Gold by Souval
Early Post-War – Deutsches Kreuz in Gold (DKiG) - Rudolf Souval of Vienna. Souval made awards during the war and afterwards. In my opinion, this is a nice placeholder for a uniform or for someone not looking to spend thousands on an original. It does have enamel damage.
Early Post-War: Several German award and dagger manufacturers continued production after the war. Most customers for these badges and daggers were German veterans as well as Allied soldiers who wanted to take home souvenirs after the war. Rudolf Souval made badges post war as early as the late 1940’s. The later 1957 series of badges were unpopular among most German veterans, with their desire to keep the swastika. In a noteworthy record, Souval continued to make badges with original wartime hardware into 1966. These type pieces, with obvious differences to war time badges, were not made to deceive collectors. Production of badges and daggers was welcomed in post-war Germany.
